Scalper prices are insane, and inflation has caught up with computer parts.
NGFM and I timed it correctly.
The rest of you should be afraid.

all good on this end
what i have now will hold me for a while np
bout every 5 yrs or so for me...
only reason i even upgraded to the 3080 was cuz i got 4k 120hz mon and the 1080ti i had b4 couldnt support alot of the features over hdmi. if the mon had displayport i wouldnt upgrade.
i mainly play fun indie games not AAA normi trash so i dont need epic fps.

Amazon.com: EVGA GeForce 04G-P4-6253-KR, GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card : Everything Else
I paid $125.89, and now it's $243.12 for the same exact model.
My CPU fan decided it didn't need to turn on today. I got it running again but I think my comp might be end of life.
will you repair, replace?
It hasn't died again so for now I'm just researching what I might want to replace my rig with. I don't game like I used to, so I don't feel obligated to drop 3k on some beast when 1500 will probably suit my needs, but it's always a case of "well this component only costs 15 bucks more so why not?".
ive never not upgraded cpu and mobo... and ram together
I bought a used Dell G5 with extra warranty for my dad's flight sim rig... i7+3060ti
The factory cooling was fucking *garbage*... it wouldn't run flight sim for more than 30 seconds before severe throttling and it was loud as fuck.
Bought and installed this stuff:
Absolute beast of an upgrade for that PC. I can't believe people buy these fucking Dells and expect to game on them from the factory, its absolutely pitiful.
In the end it cost me less than $1000CDN or about $725US. Worth it.

yea linus techtips did a vid where they bought a 'gaming' pc from every big company to compare and Dell was by faaaaar the worst and most expensive
i dont think u can even replace the power supplies anymore, even if u could find ones that would fit in their form factors it uses it's own stupid non standard pinouts

More so the motherboard and features it supports.
And there's a sweet spot where last generation hardware gets cheap before it goes back up again, usually a few years. That's where most the value is if you're upgrading or building new. After that it makes upgrades more expensive for less improvement.
At some point it's cheaper to build new.
For example, I had an i5 2500 Upgrade would have been a i7 2600 currently selling for for $131, the 12th gen I ended up with was $125. But then there's memory bandwidth limits, old ssd architecture and other bottlenecks.
I actually put a new 3080ti in the old system just to see how it would do. It wasn't good.
