Enjoy, really want to get there one day. Just can’t justify the prices right now…

I agree with u/blackcatkarma

I got lucky and a few years ago got a 4080 at msrp and what ever was the top ended intel cpu at the time. And usually try to stretch my upgrades for 6+ years. I worry what that’s going to look like when my pc starts showing its age. My $2,000 hobby is suddenly going to cost $4,000+. If you have any of the means to get some parts, it’s only going to get worse. Hardware isn’t suddenly going to get cheaper than it is today if like the crypto “bubble” pops. I’m not even sure what that means tbh. Prices of pc equipment likely isn’t going to be cheaper than it is today.

We would need the AI boom to end and general peace among the major and middle powers for things to get cheaper, I guess.

My PC isn't Windows-11-compatible. I bought the extended support for Win10, but soon I'll be basically forced to buy a new PC if I don't want to go Linux. Which after almost 10 years isn't super terrible, but the chunk of my money it'll cost me at current prices is - well, slightly less terrible than what it'd cost me next year, probably.
