Computer specs, this is until January 3, when my b550m mobo gets here and I can start building my new system, you can see the Ryzen 5 under my current tower and the ram and NVME SSD sitting on my headphone amplifier.

-Deepcool Matrexx 55 V3 case
-Noctua D9DX-i3 3U cooler
-Xeon X5670 CPU
-24gb DDR3 1333mhz RAM
-AMD RX 580 8gb OC 1420MHz GPU
-1000w PSU
-1.75tb total storage
-Only running a single CPU currently due to failing VRMs, the reason why Im building a new rig, specs below

-Fractal Design Meshify 2 Mini
-MSI B550M VDH-PRO WIFI, in the mATX flavor
-Ryzen 5 2600x, soon when I get my 3080ti ill upgrade to a R7 5800X3D
-32gb RAM
-2.25TB total storage
-AMD Stock cooler, when upgrading, ill have a 240mm rad in it.
-1000w PSU
-AMD RX580 8gb OC, upgrading to a 3080ti soon™️

I made sure to get my oscilloscope in the shot too Safe
The previously mentioned headphone amp is actually a DAC, its an Ifi Zen Air DAC, the headphone plugged in is a Hifiman HE400se, amazing budget planar magnetic. There is another display above my desk, its above the visible soundbar.

Am looking for advice on how I can improve my setup apart from cleaning it up a bit.
