I bought a 9070xt last summer, and it is awesome. I've switched to 1440p high settings for pretty much everything, but I'm noticing my CPU is low key holding me back a bit (i5 12600k). It's a great CPU, but I saw a micro center deal for a 9850x3d + b850 motherboard + 32 gb ddr5 RAM (I have ddr4 rn) for $700. Is it worth all the money invested for that?

I mostly game on my PC at 1440p with discord open. I play a mix of demanding and not demanding titles, and understand my GPU is usually doing the heavy lifting. I don't need to push insane frames bc my monitor is 180 Hz, so most competitive games are crushed by the GPU alr. Should I upgrade, wait, or just not worry at all?

The steam controller looks incredible, but also has its limitations. The g7 8k has crazy input rates, is a smaller design (I have smaller hands lol), but lacks some of the features the steam controller has. I really don't know which design areas are better and which is a better use for my money.

I'm looking for a budget of around $100 USD to the US for my PC. I just want a controller that will feel like a premium upgrade to my old one, prioritizing comfort and longevity. I play a mix of everything but would say I'm not the most competitive gamer out there.

I currently am using an xbox series s controller with a worn down stick that my kontrol freeks are keeping alive by a thread so I really need to upgrade asap.
