depends. example would be SSDs i was first in line - but why?
1) flash wasn't 'new' this packaging and speed were but flash wasn't so you can safely buy into it
2) massive order of magnitude difference. even if 1 wasn't as rosey as it was in this case, the performance difference warrants the spend.
a slightly faster CPU, not worth it. the felt difference is negligible between the cpu/ram i have because i spent a lot of GOOD money getting 1.5TB worth of the fastest possible hardware to accelerate the slowest means of communication within the system.
if i go buy a brand new ryzen, i won't feel any difference unless i'm trying to push 4K resolutions at high levels of detail. do a forum search for my name and monitors, you'll notice like 5-6 months ago i purposely bought an 'old' 1080p 144hz monitor.
why? because i can use inexpensive formerly top tier hardware, over clock it, and run the few games i play at 144hz. also the first thing i do regardless of how great my hardware is is turn everything off so my FPS is as consistent as possible so my games all look 'like ****' anyway ... but i thought most gamers did that ...
thankfully though according to you i'm poor which is a good thing else i might be throwing money away.
