there's a xx10 (gt 710, gt 210) a xx20 (gt 720, gt 220) a xx30 (gt 230, gt730, gt 1030). I think xx40 is the only one that isnt used.

Well I didn't include the GT line since those were more for HTPCs so they weren't particularly relevant. And the GTS was a short lived series. So I mainly was focusing on the GTX and RTX lines. Maybe we'll see a RTX XX50? But yea, XX40 seems like the only tier they never used.

no, i just saw a  gt740. They may drop the x6xx line for a 3050/ti this time though

Huh, now that's one I've never heard of. Don't even think I've seen OEMs use them.

[minibois]

custom PCB I've been designing, which I should probably order super soon to have any chance of it arriving before 2021 and the stuff I need for that (components like microcontroller, soldering iron, etc.).

[kelvinhall05]

Idk I'm happy with what I have. If it counts, I'd love to get my Focus calc modules working. I think it's my kinda shit soldering that's making them not work, but I am not sure lol.

[charlie_root]

I'd really, really like to get a Tadpole Viper, but they are incredibly hard to find. I've been on the lookout for years now and have never seen one.

[PlayStation 2]

New case, definitely a 1TB NVMe SSD and a 4TB general storage hard drive and a motherboard upgrade to go with the case. 

I'd love a new CPU and GPU, but truthfully, they power through what I need them to for now.

I hear ya. Built myself a much needed home NAS to get my filesystem in order and avoid screwups like my last windows reinstall. But would love to upgrade to a Zen 3 CPU, (using a 2700x on an X470 MB atm), sadly the NAS has dinged my bank balance a tad too much to be able to justify.

[Mark Kaine]

A 3070 OR *gasp* a 6800...

 

But I'll probably just end up getting a 2070 S, should be good enough for 1080p / 1440p for a long time, hopefully. 

Then I'll also need a new PSU... 

 

And a 1440p monitor with 144Hz *variable* refresh rate and G-Sync compatible... 

 

 

 

[TrainFan475]

I'm hoping to be able to afford a 3060 (if it has at least 8gb vram) and a ryzen 5 5600 when they release

There's no way in hell someone would buy me those for Christmas

 

but maybe a cablemod extension kit because my cables are ugly
