European here. I’m pretty content with my setup (Ryzen5 3600XT, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060… I play in 1080p) for the games I’m playing at the moment, and I don’t plan on playing many AAAA games in the future. BUT. With the recent tariffs flying around, China denying rare earths, etc etc I fear we might see an increase in hardware prices like we had with covid, so I was thinking on upgrading at least CPU+VGA; more than FOMO let’s say is Fear Of Being Overpriced. What do you think, should I upgrade now that things looks a little more relaxed? Will the whole mess involve only the USA or everyone cause globalization?
Keep what you’re happy with, but yeah, I’d definitely expect higher prices in the future.
Even though our president is the dumbest cunt in modern history, up until Russia invaded Ukraine, pretty much all of the world’s economies were enmeshed heavily, and they still were even after the world voted Russia off the island. Now that we are shooting ourselves in the foot, it’s going to set off a bunch of terrible economic stuff since nobody thought anyone would be dumb enough to throw sand into the money printing machine that is world trade.
