    I’m pretty fucked then, because I was one of those that was waiting until 2026 to build a new rig.

      I’m super lucky, I have 32 gigs and a graphics card. It’s just a 3060 ti, but it’ll do for now. CPU is a bit shit, BUT since it’s one of the lowest end CPUs of the second to last generation on AM4, I can go forward a generation AND get hella more cores with higher clock rates. Lately I use my PC more for work than gaming, so extra CPU cores will carry it till 2027 or 2028. 300 euros will take me from 6 cores/6 threads (ryzen 5 3500x) to 16 cores/32 threads (5950x) lol

      Put it this way, I’m waiting for DDR6 and AM6 now to buy any more RAM. Just a full on platform upgrade and I’ll make it a company computer because I work on it. Will save like 60% because taxes (social tax, income tax, VAT)
