European here. I'm pretty content with my setup (Ryzen5 3600XT, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060... I play in 1080p) for the games I'm playing at the moment, and I don't plan on playing many AAAA games in the future. BUT. With the recent tariffs flying around, China denying rare earths, etc etc I fear we might see an increase in hardware prices like we had with covid, so I was thinking on upgrading at least CPU+VGA; more than FOMO let's say is Fear Of Being Overpriced. What do you think, should I upgrade now that things looks a little more relaxed? Will the whole mess involve only the USA or everyone cause globalization?

Get it in before tariffs start to really kick in. I just did it, I'm pretty sure in 6 months it's going to be so much more expensive.

Edit: if you're in the u.s.a.

Tell me you didn't read past the title without telling me you didn't read past the title

Glazed by the first sentence, my bad. It wasn't in the title. If you're going to be a dick get it right at least.

I did get it right my dude, you didn't read past the title. I didn't say it was IN the title. Please get some sleep.
