I am in the process of getting my mom a PC upgrade, and I took advantage of Newegg's 15% bundle.
I went with a Z690 board mainly for future proofing. I know that LGA1700 is getting it's final gen with Raptor Lake Refresh, but with this board seemingly to be one of the more decent-ish boards, if in the future, I could put in an i7 14700K or something to get more life out of it.
Here is the parts list for any who want to see.

Only reason I didn't go with AM5 for her also was because of prices on DDR5. Only reason I went AM5 and upgraded when I did was because my 2700 was showing it's age, and I was at microcenter and could take advantage of a bundle.

My bf got an ultrawide monitor, so he gave me his old Gigabyte 1440p monitor. My first 1440p monitor too. It's pretty dope, and it has freesync premium so it works with my 2070 Super. It's funny too, he got one after I told him later down the line once I finish getting the new SSD and case for my PC, I was wanting an ultrawide.
I'll keep this monitor for the time being, but I do eventually want an ultrawide. It's also nice to have something besides 1080p for my PC, and the 2070 Super holds up with 1440p surprisingly well.
