My most recent computer purchases were more about seeing that the world might not stay in a place where it's as easy to get computer parts as it is now and there's a decent chance I'd regret not buying what I can now. My previous system isn't that bad but it's now my backup in case my good one fails and parts are impossible to get or stupid expensive.

And since I got it before memory and storage prices took off, I'm already not regretting it.

I had the same thought but didn't pull the trigger. My system's still absolutely fine, though. The next upgrade round will be a biggy, though. I'm guessing new socket type so new mobo. And since I keep my CPU and GPU harmonious to prevent bottlenecking, that means new video too. Will likely need a beefier PSU, and at that point may have to look at all-in on DDR5 as fine as DDR4 is for now. But I got a few years...
