Many people use the Christmas period to partially or fully restore their computer. This is a very common practice not only because of the date but also due to the sales that usually take place before and during the Christmas celebrations, among which we can highlight Back Friday and Cyber ​​Monday.

in a personal capacity I don’t feel a particular preference for PC recovery at Christmas, I usually choose to buy new components or a complete renovation when I need it and only when I find offers that are really interesting. But it is true that more than once I used pre-Christmas campaigns to buy important components and peripherals.

For example, a few years ago I have a GeForce RTX 2080 Super from the GIGABYTE assembler for 699 euros at the end of November. It was a round buy for the price-performance ratio, as it was very close to the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, whose price was around 1,300 euros. I also took the opportunity to exchange the monitor because I found an interesting offer.

In the end it was more than a thousand euros for the upgrade, but the monitor is still with me and works great, and the sale of the GeForce RTX 2080 Super during the graphics card crisis allowed me to recover a large part of my investment and get a more powerful graphics card. Yes, it was a success, no doubt about it.

The truth is, right now I don’t plan to restore the PC either in the short or medium term. I have a very powerful PC and a 1440p monitor at 144Hz, so I don’t need to upgrade, especially considering most of the games coming out that I’ve been looking forward to are still cross-gen titles. Callisto Protocol and Resident Evil 4 Remake are two great examples.

Overall, it’s clear to me that right now is a good time to buy certain components, especially CPUs, RAM and SSDs. Some graphics cards were also on sale for very interesting prices, so no, It is not a bad idea to restore the device in these terms, and even more if we take into account the latest forecasts that talk about a possible increase in the price of graphics cards.
