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?

I was in fact thinking about Intel cards, as they're the only recent ones in the price range of ~€300 (my bad, didn't write it) to offer more than the standard 8GB, and since I'm probably staying in the 1080p, I don't think I will necessarily need the 16GB.

Hey, man!

I was reminiscing on old posts, and found this again. Looks like we're in the AI RAMageddon...

How did everything end up turning out?
