Best Solution for 9600X and 9070XT Upgrades | All-in-One Guide
After two intense years of gaming on the PS5, I developed tendonitis from constantly using the thumbsticks and had to call it quits. As a 15-year veteran of FPS games, I’m now making my triumphant return to PC gaming with trusty keyboard and mouse in hand. It’s time to say goodbye to the 2060 and step into the world of 4K!
A special shoutout to my sponsor—my incredible wife—who didn’t bat an eyelid at the cost and gifted me this setup as an anniversary present. Your kindness and support mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful to have you by my side!
