I still have my i5-4690K GTX 960 SSC. But it's been nearly 8 years since I last build one and I feel exciting to build another. Recently I want to play Elden Ring but my PC doesn't seem to reach minimum system requirement. If I go now, maybe I will have a PC that can play all the current AAA games instead of feeling a bit frame drop here and there. Also with RGB, the next build would look much prettier. My SSDs, case, and power supply still in good condition so I can cut some cost not buying them. The only thing else I need is a good monitor to replace my recently broken one.
And then after that maybe in the next 4 years I will build another one.
Or I will wait longer and I starting to feel more impatient while not so sure whatever or not I will get scalped.

As a long term ITX builder . and able to get MSRP / close to on RTX3000 series gpus in my builds . I m staying on my current GPU lineup for a little bit as the rumoured RTX4000 series are going to need a nuclear reactor psu to run them which is making it harder for many higher-end ITX builds to occur without going to SFX-L 1000w gpus! If SFX-L can t get to at least 1200w then SFX in general may go way of the dodo or go more th3 budget route as high end gpus will need 1) powerful psu 2) generally 3 or 4-slot design to dissipate heat . Food for thought

I'm gonna wait. I'm still on a Vega 56, gaming at 1440p and it still holds up. Most games I can hit 60 with high settings and even some better optimised ones like Resident Evil 8 I can get 80 - 100 with settings maxed out at 1440p. I usually don't like upgrading often since it feels like a waste but i think the 7000 series might be where I buy something new since we'll start having next gen games coming to PC and buying 6000 at this point would be great but I can hold out. Likely aiming for something like a 7700XT.

My current gpu from my last build is a gtx 660. Yikes I know. But I just put together a new budget pc using intel's 12400 cpu without a dedicated gpu. So as you can imagine I am on stand by waiting for the new gpus to come out. I'm not gonna lie I've been tempted because of the dropping prices to buy a card but always managed to shake it off.

All those new cards were overpriced when they launched nearly 2 years ago so nothing much has changed or will.
I've just bought an R9 390 which is still a great card if the drivers hold out and I still have a massive back log of old games to play. Just finished Hellblade and going back to The Witcher 3.

Personally I'm going to wait and not jump on this bandwagon at first. I need to see how this new architecture works.. let them weed out the glitches.. see how the public responds to this new hardware also watch how game makers utilize this new architecture.. when all that's said and done then invest.

You should buy gpu now.
The current geforce 30 and rx 6000 are using the smallest DUV chip manufacturing.
The next level of chip manufacturing is EUV that has much lower production rate than DUV.

If you need a card and you find something that fits your needs at a reasonable price, buy it. But, if you don t need a card or yours can last a while, wait for the new line ups before upgrading

I've got one of those 1080ti cards. It's great but these last two gens have had some great performance increases. I'll prob try to get a 4080 if possible. I want to check out this ray tracing.
