This is mostly just for discussion, but this is my PC's current state. I do want to do a full custom watercooled setup sometime but I'm wondering if anything is screaming out "upgrade me, I'm old". I mostly game and do CAD design/3D printing. Some photoshop and After Effects work every now and then. What would you upgrade?

@canthidium For me looks good. Probably I'll upgrade that HDD for some SSDs.

Nowadays SSDs last longer than hard drives due to TRIM.
You should check the Asus Hyper or any kind of SSD M.2 adapter to PCIe.

Something like this:

Eh it's just a storage drive. I've got the 2tb ssd in as my main drive but yeah, I'd probably upgrade both sooner than later.
