News CPUs and Memory Sales Drop Dramatically As PC Market Slows

Nvidia's $1600 GPU is so exciting, I'm going to build an entirely new PC!

Sorry, I just wanted to be the first and only person on Earth to say that.
Actually, I am excited to build a new PC, and am seriously looking at the new $1600 GPU. But I will wait until I see what AMD brings to the table before making my final decision.

Are you building the PC because of the new GPU? Or did you decide to build a PC first and just want to consider all options?
 
lol. They probably shoudn't have jacked up the prices :)
12900K CPUs are as high as A$1300, but averaging around A$1000.
I miss the days of keeping my PCs fairly current 🙁
 
i also missed the day that should i pick i7 or powerfull i5.
nowadays , even the cheapest i5 still made me to reconsider, should i buy the new one or the older gen?
that goes with other part as well...

not everyone got income increased fairly.
the proportion between income and price of living not "balanced" anymore.
