Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
For some media can be one of those things, like swimming, that should not be mixed with drinking late at night.

Yeah, you can tell he is terrified by the way he changed NOTHING about his behavior or actions, EVER, as we give him constant attention.

Well I'm finding out now, this really sucks. Damn, the holidays dude...

I'm in the same boat, but AM4 has some amazing legs.

I managed to get my 5800X3D for $287, when I saw it go below $300 I realized it's only gonna go up from there and on AM4 it's buy that or build new.

It is the GOAT. I undervolted it and it hasn't failed me yet.
They are $350-$400 used now

It's like $5 for him.

Also, Micron is actually still making consumer DRAM and storage, just no longer under the Crucial brand, there are other external consumer companies that still use Micron DRAM and flash storage.
At first I thought they killed the consumer DRAM and storage all together, but it's not the case.

Nobody is going to fill the consumer space while the bubble is going. There is just too much money to be made on the exorbitant premiums the AI market is willing to pay.

The Crucial brand was 30 years old, the money was so good they killed it. I'm betting Micron brings it back after the pop.

I was thinking this might last up to two years, but I don't think the AI bubble is going to last half that long now.
The Win 10 debacle is just part of consumers reactions to AI, it's not matching their predictions.

So I should get 6 years out of this build.
But you won't have to do that mid cycle upgrade, your GPU and CPU are already there.
There is NO better CPU for gaming and there are only three possible GPU's you could upgrade to, and your GPU will get the same 5 years of 1440p max that they will.

The build is 5 years old though, I built it at the tail end of the Crypto crisis, which lasted 2 years and saw $400 GPU's selling for $1100, it's the reason this build didn't get the 3060 Ti it was designed around.
But I still managed to get the CPU and GPU upgrade for less than most pay for a GPU.
December 14, 2025 at 9:53 PM
It will, you have a 6 year PC at the least. The DRAM crisis won't be a thing for you, it will be long gone before you need a upgrade, there will be several other parts crisis most likely before you need a new PC.

My upgrade on this build was about 3 years ago and I'm not close to needing to upgrade

Dark.

Let me fix this for you.

"Hey folks, just wanted to say how much I love my new PC, I was lucky enough to get the best parts and have the nicest PC someone could have, while I realize that 95% of PC gamers don't have anything close to as nice as this, and I do appreciate the privilege."

What Comes After MAGA Will Be Even Worse

If Democrats and the majority aren't smart or careful, America might welcome its first Nazi president in 2032. Even though MAGA is fracturing, white supremacists are waiting in the wings to rebuild.
