I've got $90 to blow. I'm basically rich now. What should I upgrade? Uses are software development, vms, jellyfin, nas, local llms and occasional gaming. I haven't had issues with the psu but I'm thinking a name brand gold rated psu could be good. Otherwise 32gb more of ram?

If you don’t need any more storage, a power supply could be good, or maybe a cheap $100 ish UPS in case of outages? PSU will last over a decade if you get one with a nice warranty like a Seasonic. More Ram is always nice as well, just keep in mind if you ever upgrade chipsets, ddr4 will not work

I think I'll go with a ups. I think the one I have is dying 😅
