Honestly, I’m pretty glad I comically overspec’d my 2020 build with a 5950X and 64gb ddr4. It’s been running like an absolute champ since I built it. I did shift from a 3080FE to a 9070 XT when I finally jumped ship from W10 to Bazzite, though. And there was a dead stick of ram that cropped up back in ‘23… I should probably go into my bios and tune the ram speeds down a bit to increase longevity, what with the price of memory these days.

I did something similar and hopefully my PC will survive until 2030.
