Very true, I did just recently pass up a great deal on an NVMe drive because I can't use it in my current setup. I believe PCIe 2.0 will also bottleneck USB 3.2

Very true, I did just recently pass up a great deal on an NVMe drive because I can't use it in my current setup. I believe PCIe 2.0 will also bottleneck USB 3.2 (or Gen 2x2 or whatever the naming scheme is now), and whatever GPU I upgrade to next (I read that it's a bottleneck with the GTX 1080 and up) NVMe is the only thing that will cause a noticeable improvement for me though, seeing as I still game on a 1080p60 monitor and generally don't need that sort of speed from any USB peripheral. Still, the processor itself kicks ass and I think the only reason why most people would need to upgrade are for newer peripherals.
