PC parts are becoming cheaper and more available, but the unique situation with next-gen components means it's a bad time to build your next PC.
You can finally build a PC now, and thank goodness for that. It’s been just shy of two years since the pandemic sent the computing industry into a tailspin and the GPU shortage made building a new desktop computer prohibitively expensive. We can all share a collective sigh of relief, but just because you can build a PC right now doesn’t mean you should.
I wrote previously about how next-gen GPU prices will come down to crypto, and that’s still true. It just doesn’t look like crypto is going to see a boom soon. Recent reports show GPU prices crashing along with Ethereum — the main driver of the GPU shortage — and week-over-week, I’ve continued to spot better deals on brand new graphics cards.We’ve been here before, around mid-2018.
Before we get next-gen GPUs, we’ll likely see AMD’s Ryzen 7000 and Intel’s Raptor Lake processors. Not only will these platforms offer the typical performance improvements we see each generation, but they’ll also come with platform features that aren’t readily available now . Power could be a problem if you build a new PC now, too. Nvidia’s RTX 40-series graphics cards, at least, are rumored to carry massive power requirements. Even if you build with one of the best power supplies now, it may fall short when you want to throw a new GPU in your build down the line.
