I bought my rig last December when the first rumours came up. I'm good for a few years now thanks to DLSS.

Before December of 2025 yes which was why I was still using my 9 year+ pc. But managed to get a amazing new pre built pc for less than Mrsp even on December and easily set for even next gen since I'm staying on 1440p.

Got a 9070. Will flash it to an XT down the line. It's got great perf to wattage right now though.
I'll keep an eye on an AM4 X3D chip deal

I anticipated the price increases on memory and other things, so I bought anything I wanted last black friday while things were still good.
Mainly bought just a PC case, 3 30tb hdds and ssds for my server, re-using parts from my old 2019 PC for the rest of it. Won't need to upgrade this thing for years.
Only thing I want down the line that could be effected by pricing is maybe the ultrawide monitor at the end of the year, but I doubt prices on those will increase like memory.

OP, not to be that guy, but the price changes (or more like rumors of them) did affect my upgrade plans. I had no intention of upgrading from my RTX 3080, but I pulled the trigger on a 5070ti a couple weeks ago. Didn't see a poll option for exactly that. I voted "not upgrading my current PC".
In hindsight, especially with the 5070ti being discontinued, it was an even better call than I thought it was going to be.
I do only have 16gb of RAM, but it hasn't been an issue for my gaming (yet).

My laptop broke down about a year ago, and soon after I was able to snag a good deal on a new one with a 5060 and 32GB of RAM. Added some additional storage right away, so I'm set. The current situation is kinda beneficial to me as I assume this hardware will last me a good while.
