I was planning on replacing my 2017 build next year but I bit the bullet this month. Even if prices drop by 50% in the next year there are going to be no parts to buy :/

    I did a 2020 build just as we were all going home, and it was decent enough. After the first wave of GPU craziness, I thought you know what, I'm going to grab one of those 4070ti cards and a 5800x3d, and topped it up to 128gb of Ram (it was on sale for like under $200, so why not, I just wanted to fill the slots). I mean sure it's AM4, and the 4070 was supposedly the worst card ever and such a waste of money and blah blah blah, but it works. Will work for quite some time. And hey if things keep going the way they are, at least I can put my kids through college by selling some of the Ram in 10 years time lol.
