    Advice on whether to upgrade system before selling it?

    Unless you have a spare 5800x3d just lying around, I wouldn't bother. As for prices on the auction site, it's a common selling tactic to list higher than you are willing to take and accept offers. People will always try to low ball you.

    Total noob to home cinema, I have questions...

    Sorry pal, I don't have a budget in mind. I'm just putting feelers out to get an idea if it's worth me doing or not. That said, I'm not averse to paying up to get the best bang for buck experience

    Talk to me about computer desks...

    At my old house, I had a custom desk built into the alcove in the living room. It wasn't pretty but it was strong and it worked for my needs. Here in my new place that is not an option, the alcoves are too small and I've been using a "gaming desk" I picked up cheap on Gumtree. The PC is...
