My System:
Mobo - Asrock Z390 Phantom Gaming 6
CPU - i5 9600KF
GPU - RTX 2070
RAM - 16GB DDR4 3200MHZ

Wife's System:
Mobo - MSI H310M Pro VDH Plus
CPU - i3 9100F
GPU - GTX 780
RAM - 16GB DDR4 3200MHZ

Daughter's System:
Mobo - Gigabyte H81M
CPU - i3 4160
GPU - GTX 570
RAM - 16GB DDR3 1600MHZ

Plan was to upgrade my wife to similar specs to me but starting with mobo and cpu then gpu nearer to christmas once funds have increased. However, i found that a Z370/90 mobo and 9600k/f would be around £300 used. While a Z590 and 11600kf would be around £350 new.

So i went ahead and ordered a MSI Z590 Gaming Edge Wifi and an 11600KF for £315. However, the mobo arrived today but no cpu. After contacting the retailer, they informed me the cpu was out of stock and i shouldn't have been able to order

They said they would honour the discounted price if i don't mind waiting for stock to replenish around mid may which would in turn save me £50. So turns out it would be a nice bday present for myself after all.

So i will be upgrading my pc to the 11600k and my mobo and cpu will become an upgrade for the wife followed by my daughter having the 9100f. Next upgrade would be a gpu upgrade for my wife and daughter as a christmas present

Seeing as most people post questions and negative things for the most part, i decided peeps would prefer a bit of a story over a question ;)
