    My standard cycle for building is 5 years, and i just built (probably overspecced) with a 9800x3d and a 9070 XT. I’m sitting pretty for a while IMO.

      Same CPU, but 3070 RTX and 64 gigs of ram and 4TB 990 pro mvme. Looking back, I bought at the very beginning of the hike, and all because a very good RAM discount.

      Might change the GPU for something more Linux friendly if prices go down or second hand, but my idea is to have 5-10 years honestly.

        If you are going to swap the GPU, prices should be irrelevant, as you will get more money for your GPU when selling if they go up.
