No plan for 2021, I'm happy with my new set up made late 2020. Maybe another SSD 2Tb for my games but I don't see the interest yet.

Most likely I will buy a 1TB SSD later next week, as a gaming drive only cause atm I have all of my games on hard drives.
I was planning to buy one after I got my new GPU but since that market is pretty much dead atm might as well switch priorities before SSD prices goes up too.

Tbh I can't even look at the second hand market anymore in my country, ppl are actually buying 5600 XTs for ~500$ almost instantly, at this rate I wont see 'normal' prices anytime soon. :shadedshu:

'1660 supers/old 1070s also go for 350$ like its nothing'

Prices were pretty bad already even before all this.

Before the last amd\nvidia releases sure, but with the scalpers and all the other bollocks i have had $650 sitting around for a new card for other a year.

Crypto did not help either.

Am I the only one dreading 2021 hardware availability, pricing, etc.?

Do you think you'll be able to buy the hardware for any planned upgrades in 2021?

Of course, I don't expect any notable price or availability issues

Yes, but at raised prices and a bit of luck finding stock

Yes, but at raised prices

Yes, but only by obsessively monitoring stocks

Maybe, but I really can't tell at this point

No, due to pricing

No, due to availability

No, pricing, availability, Covid-19 and everything else has made upgrades highly unlikely for me

No upgrades planned, thankfully
