Do you ever feel cursed whenever buying PC related hardware/ games?

[Dizz_Man]

So,I just bought a Ryzen 3700X from PCCG not even a week ago at this point. Today the 3800X went on sale for cheaper, just out of nowhere, no special occasion, nothing.

When I bought CoD MW on PC it went on sale a week later.

A few years ago, I bought a GTX 1060, which a month later the RTX series was released, which meant slashed prices on GTX cards to get them off shelves.

 

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS????? WHY ME???

You just have bad timing that's all. lol.

I see where you're coming from. I buy a keyboard for more than I'd like to pay for it, the next day there's the same board in better shape for less.

I had a curse when my APC UPS Battery Backup & Surge Protector with USB Charger, 850VA Uninterruptible Power Supply (BE850M2) died within 1 year and a few months after I purchase it.  After one power outage it kept beeping and I could not offload the over voltage issue.  So I had to RMA back and they sent me a replacement with broken plastic door that wouldn't lock it with the battery door.

That replacement isn't APC's fault, it's whoever shipped it that caused that to happen.

Yeah APC sent me a replacement door after I got it that day.  They got a warehouse just like 30 minutes away from my area.  I should of contacted the warehouse company that did the RMA shipment.

Planned on getting the dark rock pro 4 anyways 

 

Bit of overkill considering im not overclocking just letting the computer do it for me but oh well looks nice in my case and will be quiet as.

In the UK we can return stuff within 2 weeks for no reason and then just buy the cheaper one.

I bought a 7600K right as Ryzen 1600s were available, and I also bought a 1060 not long before RTX was announced. The 1060 is still fine (mostly) in games, but the 7600K is now replaced with a 2700x, which I bought right when the 3000 series came out so I saved a bunch of money this time around. So some bad luck but then good luck on my end.

naa, whenever i change hardware i tend to just save up for whatever's best at the time. whether or not i have bad timing is irrelevant to me as i'd rather have what i need asap unless there's like a black friday sale a week or two down the line.
