TechSpot PC Buying Guide - Early 2021
Is this a good time to buy or build a new PC? It depends on what you do and your actual needs. More people than ever are working from home, which means that the cheapest components in many categories are either out of stock or overpriced to the point of irrelevance. Making matters worse, a lot more people than usual are also spending more time and money toward hobbies such as gaming, not to mention the new wave of cryptomining. New graphics cards are selling at 2x-3x their MSRP and buying from eBay merely saves you ~15% compared to buying them new.
