QOTW: Which PC components did you upgrade in 2020?

[Frogrocker]

Got an arctic 240mm aio and an rtx 3060ti that came yesterday. All sorted for this year.

[alpha channel]

Pretty much all of it plus a 92mm hole saw to cut a new hole for a 92mm CPU intake fan (made the mod most reviewers of the Cooler Master SL600 said should be implemented if they made another). The only thing that's not new is the 240GB SSD (a dedicated cache drive for the likes of CC suite) which was sitting around after I upgraded my old machine to a 500GB SSD and 2 2TB 3.5" drives for long term local storage that I had laid around at work doing nothing.

[Output]

As stated in my 3950X Build Suggestions thread from almost a full year ago, all of them except for SSD, GPU, PSU and HDDs (although I have added additional ones of the last) - and while a few of the components were bought in the final few days of 2019, the actual build didn't happen until February.

Radeon RX580 8Gb, reconditioned so bought at a discount.
32Gb of Crucial Sport memory, from previous 16GGb, second hand.
4Tb Seagate Barracuda new "media" drive.

[Primey0]

My ram, gpu and hopefully my cpu next week.

The only thing I bought for my pc was a couple of diffuser strips for RGB strips, coast less than £5 from AliExpress

Upgrade? Nothing.

Bought an MS Surface Pro and various accessories though. And a Samsung Touch SSD. And a phone. And some smartspeakers, headphones, etc.

I haven't upgraded anything. I have started buying parts for my new rig (case, SSD, speakers) but can't call it an upgrade since it's replacing an empty space on my desk.

[Euphonium]

I did a new build - Ryzen 9 3900X, Noctua cooler, 32GB 3200MHz, 1TB PCIe4 SSD, 2TB SATA SSD, Fractal Design Define 7 case, Seasonic PSU. I migrated my old GTX980Ti and 4x4TB HDDs over from my old machine.
I'd hoped to get a new GPU and monitor once Hexus had reviews for the 3000-series and big navi, but that hasn't happened. I'll give it 6 months and see if either side can get their act together and keep their cards in stock.

[The Hand]

2TB Kingston SSD. A good decision I might add.

[virtuo]

Literally everything

4790k -> 5950X
980Ti -> 3090FE
Asus Gryphon Z87 -> Aorus Master X570
32GB DDR3 -> 64GB DDR4
1TB SATA SSD > 2TB PCIE4.0 NVME
Corsair H110i -> Fractal Celsius S36
Be Quiet Dark Base Pro 900 (Hexus Prize!) -> Fractal Meshify 2 Grey

Pair of Dell 25" 1440p panels -> 49" Samsung CRG90 Ultrawide


Also bumped the NAS from 6x10TB to 6x 16TB and plonked the 10s in to a 5 bay DAS and one as a data drive in the tower.


I've said literally now, but I'm using the same mouse and keyboards (1 for gaming, 1 for coding)


But please, don't tell the wife

I upgraded my ram from 16 to 32GB Ram, upgraded from a 1080Ti to a 3080 and added a Sabrent Rocket 1TB drive. All great so far, great performance boosts.

[Korrorra]

I got a new mouse and ssd this year. The ssd turned out to be a bad idea because the ssd has crap performance and causes stuttering and mini-freezing. The mouse Rivel 600 turned out to be a bad idea also because the silicone or glue that the company used is also crap. All the things I did want to upgrade like: videocard, cpu and motherboard I decided to hold out until AMD releases the 600 motherboard series specs. I am also waiting for ddr5.

[MarkOtley]

Two items for me. A new 3090 SLI system and a 49" wide curved gaming monitor.

[NiPPonD3nZ0]

This year I've went from a B450 to an x570 motherboard for my Ryzen! The ASUS TUF B450-Plus Gaming OnBoard LAN went out, send it for warranty service and they refund me, so I splurged a few extra € and went a notch higher with a Gigabyte X570 Gaming X! My boss gifted me a KEEP OUT 27" curved Freesync 166Hz gaming monitor for christmas and my girlfriend gifted me a Logitecg MX518 Legendary mouse, that arrived today! Also, my MSI GeForce GTX980 gifted me the ability to still enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 at an playable framerate, so this year has been good so far!

Nothing at all, not that there is any stock of any recently released components anyway.
