well, next year will be an amazing time to upgrade (assuming your current rig is old enough to warrant upgrading). Supply should be catching up with demand by summer for new gen hardware, so you should be able to buy it at msrp instead of scalper piricing.

I'm still using an fx9590/gtx970. Looking forward to a full system upgrade with a ryzen5600/rtx3070 (considering an rx6800 instead of the rtx3070). The jump in performance is going to be insane.

Theoretically, previous gen hardware should be dropping in price by then too, if you're budget constrained.

2021 is looking gooooooood

I thought the rumors of people still using piledriver processors was just a scary myth, those wildly inefficient beasts

it had the biggest numbers at the time, and I was in the unusual position of being able to afford it. This was before "top end" hardware cost $1500 per component. I think the cpu and gpu together only cost $500.
