European here. I’m pretty content with my setup (Ryzen5 3600XT, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060… I play in 1080p) for the games I’m playing at the moment, and I don’t plan on playing many AAAA games in the future. BUT. With the recent tariffs flying around, China denying rare earths, etc etc I fear we might see an increase in hardware prices like we had with covid, so I was thinking on upgrading at least CPU+VGA; more than FOMO let’s say is Fear Of Being Overpriced. What do you think, should I upgrade now that things looks a little more relaxed? Will the whole mess involve only the USA or everyone cause globalization?
If you’re content then don’t purchase anything. Just enjoy what you have and save money.
Buying at the right time is the best way to save money.
Not buying at all saves even more money.
A 3080 was great value if you somehow got one on release in 2020 for $700
A 9070 xt, if you can get one even for $700 will beat the 3090 even in a lot of ray tracing games
