One Last PC Upgrade

Despite soaring prices, I managed to get a good deal on a new GPU a few days ago. After some thought, I decided it was more economically viable to upgrade my PC one last time, rather than replace it entirely. Amazon had a limited time offer on a Sapphire Pure Dual AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16GB, which seemed the best replacement for my RX 6650 XT 8GB. It was priced at £530 but usually sells at somewhere north of £600, which is crazy. Furthermore, I could spread the payments over 5 months, interest free. So I immediately bought it because I think prices are just going to keep rising well into 2027. I also took the opportunity to buy a pair of desk mounted monitor arms, so I could reclaim some desk space. Hence earlier today, I installed the GPU as well as the monitor arms and generally reorganised my PC environment. I also took the time to go through my IT junk cupboard and see if there was anything worth selling.
