Hmmm, OK, well, can I pitch my idea of what I wanna do? (Just cos I think it's cool and wanna write not cos it's practical or anything )
...I've got a 8700k that I also want to passively cool I think I might downgrade from this through so I can do it coolers like the Thermalright Macho 120 seem decent or the Silvestone Heligon HE02 V2 or Nofran Coolers and at some point I also hope to find an alternative to the SilverStone nightjar series which are TOOOO expensive.
I'm thinking of just selling as much as possible to go back from 1440p 144hz to 1080p double monitor as honestly, as much as I LIKE the benefits I could invest that money elsewhere in other things and experinces I enjoy and instead just make mini projects and upgrade in different ways, maybe just play at ridiculous settings and play my VR setup (I am one of those with windows MR as my living arrangements can't facilitate too much in the way of arrays) or go for a fully portable setup, find some easy to carry monitor and just use a laptop/2in1 type setup I feel like I'm at a crossroads with this passion of mine, it's not my #1 thing anymore, so maybe I should sell off what I can go to barebones until I can a few years in the future there are really experiences I haven't seen before and new hardware that makes me wanna come back. Even then is that something I can do? Can I really hold off the temptation that is tech?
Thanks if you read this far not really sure what response I want, just don't have any really techy friends IRL that get it tbh.
