About LinkBacksAlready got a 3600 last year, so I'll be hoping to upgrade my gtx 970 this year so long as prices don't go worse. It's getting on a bit and I got a 144Hz 1440p monitor so should make more use out of the spec.

RAM, motherboard, CPU and cooler. I'm still using a 3770k!
Might get round to replacing my portable HDD with a portable SSD otherwise, nothing unless something fails.
Got main components, but need :
2 X dual 140 mm rads + 2 X trippel 120 or 140 rads + hardline tubing and fittings, and then i got to buy the last 16GB of RAM to populate all 8 sockets with 64 GB in total.
O and i need to buy or fabricate wires ( ATX + other mobo wires ) and so on
Perhaps my internal Interstellar Overdrive (et al.) transconductance amplification peripheral could do with an upgrade, but everything else was changed last year.
Mobo, Cpu, Ram DDR5, Keyboard, Headphones, More SSD's, a bigger HDD since games are using more space also. All depending on price being as low as possible.
Depends on if my 2500k finally seems too old, and Ryzen 3000 prices/Ryzen 4000 performance. If Ryzen 4000 were DDR5 + the next-gen socket, I'd almost surely upgrade, but it's tempting to wait one more year and skip DDR4 at this point.
If I upgrade, it'll be CPU/Mobo/RAM/NVME SSD. May or may not convert my old system into a secondary/LAN PC; if so add PSU+Case, and increase the chances of a new GPU so my RX480 can be in the LAN PC (versus RX 480 in main + ancient HD 6870 in LAN PC).
Otherwise, I've got a 3 TB HDD in reserve that's likely to be added at some point for space, and will rebuilt in 2021.
I have no need to upgrade anything in my PC.
The key word there is "need".
"need" is an interesting word in itself but many people don't know that it is the smaller, weaker, quieter brother of "want".
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!
Complete mini itx system in May/June or wait until Nov and get an Xbox Series X. All dependent on pricing/availability of Navi 2/Ampere compared to Xbox expected pricing.
Components? None probably.
New system, though .... maybe.
I'm currently having an argument between Me and Myself. Me says I need a new system 'cos .... I just do. Shiny new toys, okay? Myself, on the other hand, keeps asking Me what I do that requires it, and requires spendjng that much?
It's more or less at a standoff, but Myself is just edging it.

I'd like to get a new CPU to replace my 3770k, and that means a new mobo & RAM to go with it an NVMe SSD would be nice as well.
If I do manage to afford an upgrade this year it will be a Ryzen, at least 8 cores. Right now Intel doesn't have anything that looks a good balance of price/performance for me.
Similarly I'm not seeing anything that looks like good enough value for money to justify replacing my GTX980Ti right now. The RTX cards in particular feel *way* over-priced, especially for driving a 1080p monitor
New build.
On Haswell-E 5960X over 5 years old.
Will move to either the 3950X or wait for the Zen 3 equivalent of it.
Just bought a 1TB NVMe SSD.
As NAND flash memory might increase by up to 40% this year.
Next thing will be a GPU but the trusty 1080 still pootles along quite well. Not sure there's anything but a sideways buy for me at the moment unless I were to spend stupid money.
Grab that. Get that. Check it out. Bring that here. Grab anything useful. Take anything good.
Everything.
Probably none, to be perfectly honest, as my system currently fits my needs.
Ryzen 7 1700 @ 3.6GHz
2x8GiB 3200MHz DDR4
1TB SSD + 10TB HDD
PowerColor RX 5700 XT
I've enough power for the media uses I need and the amount of gaming I have time for. Outside of a few hundred hours in Divinity Original Sin 2: Definitive Edition, my next most-played games recently aren't even graphical taxing. Still, plenty of games on the backlog to play through
