so currently im on am4 with a ryzen 5 5600x and just bought a rx 9070xt. from what ive seen on youtube the bottleneck isnt too bad at 1440p and i mainly play singeplayer AAA games anyway. but theres a microcenter bundle near me for ryzen 5 7600x3d, gigabyte x870 gaming wifi and a stick if 16 gb 6000 mhz all for 379$. how good of a deal is this, should i buy it asap or just wait it out. i just spent a good amount of money on a new psu and the gpu so id rather not soend more money but if this isnt a deal im going to get later on id rather buy now.

im not too familiar with gpu price history kinda just been getting back into it but i saw a 9070xt challenger openbox new for 620$ at microcenter and reserved the order. is this a good deal? im upgrading from a 3070 and ryzen 5 5600x, i did originally want to buy a 9070 non xt i saw from micro center for 560 it would prob be less bottleneck but the price jumped to 600 last minute. would the 9070xt be worth it for this price if i dont plan to upgrade to am5 for some time?

So im an intermediate lucid dreamer and have done it many times on and off throughout the years. Ive been far more disciplined and consistent with it though across the recent months, especially with dream journaling and recall. For context i always wake up between sleep cycles usually once like after 4 hour, and then go back to sleep for another 4 or so hours. One issue ive been noticing though is that i seem to remember my dreams from the first cycle way more, like ill wake up and then write them down fully like 3-4 dreams and then go back to sleep sometimes doing SSILD and setting intention to remember my dreams once again. but the second cycle which ive heard is where you have deeper rem with more vivid and longer dreams i seem to have alot more difficulty recalling. When i wake up i have to lay there and really try to think and i usually remember a few dreams but they are not as detailed as my first cycle. I dont know why this is, im not sure if its because im journaling too much when i initially wake up but it feels like my later rem cycle is being wasted.
