Got a work bonus for tech stuff — what would you buy?

I’ve got around 760€ (max) bonus to spend through my company on tech/office upgrades and I’m trying to make the smartest long-term choices.

Current setup:

Desktop: (For an idea on power draw)

  • Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • RX 9070 XT
  • 850W PSU

Monitors:

  • 24" 144Hz + 27" 180Hz gaming monitors
  • 34" ultrawide for MacBook work setup

MacBook Pro

3D printing setup:

  • Bambu Lab P2S + AMS2
  • SUNLU S4 filament dryer

Router + misc accessories/LEDs

I’m powering all of this through random cheap extension cords 😅 so I’m upgrading the power setup first.

Current plan:

  • 2x Belkin 8-outlet surge-protected strips
  • Maybe a UPS only for the desktop + gaming monitors
  • Possibly a Thunderbolt dock/hub with SD reader for the MacBook setup

Curious what people here would do with the budget, so i'm asking for opinions of what you would in my situation 👀
