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?

i predict that the tariffs he implements will be based on how they would impact musk's businesses. cheap reliable chinese cars: 1000% tariff. electronic components musk needs to import to build stuff: no tariffs.
