thinking about pulling the trigger on buying a whole new PC, mine is 12 years old and has been slowly dying. I have enough money in the bank and just started a new job to be fine if I spend $1.5-2k on a whole new PC that I plan on lasting another 5-10 years. is it smarter to do it now because waiting a little longer will just make the same parts cost more money due to anticipated tariffs?

It seems insane to imagine that they tariffs will actually happen, but it also seems insane to allow everything else Trump has done so shrug-outta-hecks

I'll tell you I just bought some new PC parts for this exact reason.

Just bought a Processor and finally an SSD hard drive. Most of my hardware is ancient but still holds up just fine.
