Maybe its an age thing, i don't game as much as i use to.
Maybe its because all my games run fine.
Maybe its because im not bothered in overclocking for 3dmark scores like in the past. Overclocking cpu/gpus for benches use to be a real fun challenge.
Maybe its the chore of just starting again and maybe losing some current data.
Maybe its the cost.
Maybe its because i've waited so freaking loonnnnggg already to upgrade i can wait longer....
From 2001 -2015 i would upgrade all the time, especially the graphics cards, literally every year. Since RTX2000series that kinda got screwed cause of the prices.
But I have been waiting and waiting for years (not updated cpu 2500k/mobo for like 10 years, gpu 980ti for like 4 years) and now a pre build system (cba to build again and pre build pretty much the same as buying and making yourself right now) at a competitor has dropped in price and I am so close to pulling the trigger and its suddenly "hhmmm, its going to be warm this week, i dont like gaming when its hot" "hhmmmm Im likely away the weekend after so i may as well wait until i get back home" "hhmmm If i wait longer it may drop further in price?" "hhmmm i dont really need it, i mean it would be nice but its a load of money and i guess I could wait until perhaps the next cpu/gpu....hhmmm maybe late 2022, thats a long way away".
Anyone else gone/going through this.
Im half tempted to just do it next time im drunk (friday) and go "What the hell! *buy*"
