My current all purpose rig is around 6 months old. I built it during the first wave of the pandemic and finding parts took some time. That has not changed. Currently I have a 3090 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU in route, took some effort to get both, luckily did not spend more then list price on the GPU. So I will have a GPU (2080 Super) and a CPU 3950X spare once I complete these upgrades. My question: Since I have been thinking about a second PC to help my setup, should I save these and use them in a second PC I build or should I sell them? I would need to buy a case, cpu cooler, mb, and a m.2/ssd drives.
I need my computer to remote connect to work, game, watch Youtube.. etc. A second PC would likely be tasked with my work connection and my main computer would focus more on photo editing hobby, and gaming.
What have some of you done with your spare parts?
Is it worth keeping spares in the event of a hardware failure?
