After being looking to upgrade my rather old I7-4790k with a Ryzen 5900x, I finally got impatient and ordered a 5800x instead... Can't wait to receive it

I upgraded, well a completely new build, in fall 2018. It replaced my 10 year old gaming machine.
I think I can probably wait out the mining craze for another 4-5 years. I've found that with some tweaking, it'll running anything you throw at it for that long. Maybe not at max settings, but that's ok. Can't really tell with a 1080p monitor anyway (upgraded from my 1024).
I'd love to upgrade more frequently, but it's so expensive. How do you all manage it?

Have fun with the 5800X, it's a very nice CPU. With PBO it boosts up to 4.85 GHz on single-core loads.
Also, with all cores being on the same CCX and sharing one unified L3 Cache, you avoid most of the infamous fabric latency.
Keep in mind though, that it doesn't come with a stock cooler.
Yes, I know, I ordered a Dark Rock 4, along with some Grizzly Hydronaut thermal paste, which I didn't heard of before, but seemed to be decent
For myself:
I had luck and got a Radeon 6900xt directly from amd.com for about 900€ where the custom designs nowadays retails for about 1500-1600€. The market is absolutely crazy.
Also I got a Ryzen R7 5800x at launch day from a german retailer who is AMD partner and sold the first batch for the recommended AMD price. Currently I‘m waiting for the 5900xt as I originally wanted to have a 5900x. But I‘m not sure AMD will release one as intels 11000er are less strong than expected.
Also I build a gamin rig for my daughter/son. Therefore I got an intel 10400f for about 130€ and a Radeon 5600xt for about 330€. The 5600xt was already overpriced that point in time, but looking at prices know I‘m glad i did buy it last year.
I really hope that this crypto bubble will implode. Not only becuase of HW costs but mainly because it is an environmental desaster and just insane. Also it has moved away from beeing a currency to a pure speculation object. Besides speculation and criminal activities there is no practical use for them. Secondly many crypto coins are poorly implemented and therefore a thread for the owner.

Oh well, live and learn! The prices are so ridiculous now, the 2080 I have in my system is a 2 year old card, but people are selling it for 1k-1.5k...

During the first months of the pandemic the monitors prices went nuts. Everyone was trying to buy one (or a laptop). Right now the prices are kinda "normalized" for mainstream monitors but whatever has the "gamer" label on them are still slightly expensive IMO.
With this said, the best offer I can find for you is this: https://compragamer.com/producto/Monitor_Gamer_HDC_27_HM_27WQ_2K_144Hz_TN_HDMI_DP_11408?seccion=3&destacados=1&nro_max=50&cate=5
But bare in mind that it's a TN panel. If I were you, I would go for a 23"/24" 1080p 75Hs Panel (a little over the half of the price of this monitor). My two cents.
