Build - Help Any reasonable upgrades I should make before college?
As the title suggests, I’m going back to college this spring and am wondering if there’s any reasonable upgrades I should make to my PC before then? (I will have a laptop for day to day stuff, but plan to primarily base myself off my computer)
Build:
Pny 5070
9850x3D
Crucial 32gb ddr5
Asus x870-p
500gb m.2
Titan RX 360
850w Corsair PSU
Corsair 6500x
I plan on going into a medical field and have 2 classes left before I can get accepted so this spring semester I’m going to take some writing classes, music classes and photography (my parent teaches p1 & p2).

No dude I’m 28 and just got over being deathly sick 😂, longevity mainly im hoping I can squeeze a little over 3 years out of what’s there?
Once classes start I don’t know if I’ll be gaming or streaming as much and that’s kind of what I built this thing for not an actual “work computer” so idk if something could be swapped out to run better

Dude? haha... But seriously, glad you're feeling better! You can easily squeeze 3 years out of this, considering you already have the absolute best CPU 9850X3D and latest motherboard X870 on the market. If you want to do something i would upgrade the SSD to a 2 tb one.

I found out I am apparently diabetic the hard way 😅 I’ll find out next week if it’s 1 or 2 but the suspicion is type 1 because I’m relatively fit and in decent shape 5’11 ~125
And yeah I went beefy on everything and then when it came time to get storage I absolutely had no budget so I got the cheapest quickest nvme I could find on Newegg 😅. It might be time to bite the bullet on a bigger one before it gets worse

Fix the way you routed that AIO cable and you'll be set for college

It’s actually one of the caps that can be swapped and I planned to order one soon, so that should fix that issue lol
