Read more.And how are they working out?
Are you joking? I cant get hold of anything i want!
Couldn't get a 3080 so haven't really bothered this year.
Upgraded my chair (does that count?), best upgrade I have made in years, considering how much I am having to use it.
whole machine except GPU and I wonder why that didn't get changed....
3900x, x570, NVme, it's a whole new world for me after 10 years with the old system.
The one thing that stayed was the keyboard. I actually wanted to get a new one but decent wired USB true UK keyboards for <£10 are few and far between and non have the slim profile and power/wake/sleep buttons this one does.
Same!, I'll upgrade my PC next summer (if there's any stuff to buy!) so I upgraded my monitor 1080p 60hz >>> 1440p 144hz with VRR/freesync, I love it but now I need a better PC to use it!Originally Posted by SteK
Just the one, I bought a 32" widescreen.
Was going to say nothing, nada, zilch...
... However, at the beginning of the year I did buy a mouse from Amazon warehouse. Steelseries thing with tons of buttons must of which remain unused but I though maybe a gaming mouse will last longer than an ordinary one.
Nothing, am not ready to upgrade anything yet, but if it counts I bought some Sourround Sound for my living room... uh
Upgraded my DAC/headphone amp and headphones. Not PC as such but, connected to it.
Incremental upgrades.
RTX 2080 FE > RTX 3090 FE
Intel Core i7-9700K > Intel Core i9-9900KF
Lian Li PC-X500 Case > Corsair Obsidian 500D
Corsair Hydro Series H80i v2 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler > Corsair Hydro Series H100i RGB PLATINUM 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler
Also added another Samsung 970 Evo Plus to my system (2TB), and have back ordered a Corsair 1200W HXi PSU.
Nothing much really.
Would've got a GPU, couldn't get hold of one. I'm no longer in a rush to upgrade.
Best upgrade of the year was the chair. Decided to buy a long-term chair, bought a Herman Miller back in January, and then a pandemic arrived in March. My back is very happy with how 2020 has gone.
About the same time, I doubled my DDR3 1600 CL9 from 8 GB to 16 GB. No longer run out of RAM on occasion, it's been nice, worth the cost even though I'll probably go to DDR4 or DDR5 within the next two years.
Bought a dedicated microphone - Yeti Nano - in June. Can't believe it took me 3 months of working remotely to break down and buy one, would recommend.
And installed a 3 TB hard drive (Toshiba P300) that I'd bought as part of a storage upgrade in 2019, but hadn't needed until this year. Nothing too special there but it's allowed me to back up a lot more Blu-Rays and increase the percentage of my Steam library I have locally, all while having much more free space than a year ago.
Keyboard / mouse
Maybe this is next week's question, but my most-likely-to-upgrade components for 2021 are adding more SSD storage, and potentially upgrading to Ryzen at long last.
Nothing because stock has been stupidly low.... going to swap out my case and aio though after Christmas to a new one and HOPEFULLY get a new gpu to tide me over... unless stock magically changes and I can do the full build I want to do that is.
I'd say so. Peripherals can make such a difference to the experience of using a pc and are a good investment.
