Intel will likely increase CPU pricing soon
According to recent Asian reports, Intel is contemplating price hikes for many of its products. Intel Xeon and Intel Core CPUs for desktop PCs, laptops, and servers will soon be offered at greater costs.
Intel would then pass on the additional expenses from the manufacturing chain. Uncertainty remains surrounding the magnitude of price rises. It is anticipated to be in the double digits or high single digits. In some instances, price rises of up to 20% are possible. Intel does not comment publicly on these rumors. The price hikes may take effect in the fall of 2022. High inflation, mainly owing to increased energy prices and supply constraints continue to wreak havoc on the semiconductor sector.
In Europe, the effects of inflation are especially pronounced: As a result of the conflict in Ukraine and the frosty ties with Russia, for instance, the euro is presently worth precisely one US dollar. In addition to Intel, other firms are likely to increase their costs. Both business-to-business and business-to-consumer commerce will be affected.

my older i5 2500K, clocked at 4.5Ghz (has been since 2011) coupled with an RX 570 is still great for 1080. It all depends on what games you play. If you insist on playing console ports, saturated with microtransactions then you are going to need beefy machines. If you are still happy to pwn noobs in CSGO, why bother upgrading?
I'm hoping my 5800X with the Red Devil 5700 XT lasts for years to come, or at least until the nukes start falling then we get to play Metro and Fallout IRL.

make perfect sense people are gona spend less cause all inflation and economy of world taking hits, people send less mean less profit to those companies, so raise the prices those people that spend regardless pay more and line those companies pockets..... And when and if normal comeback we all get to pay those prices cause they got idea people will pay those prices anyway, wait they already figure that out decades again and if mining bs proved anything to them the people will pay.
gpu prices are hiked up from msrp point now cpu will join. then when sales take dive again time to put the cost up, they got protect those margins for the people getting insane salaries that or profits that do nothing to warrent those salaries other then sit in chair and tell people that actual do the work the dead line they must meet.
6700k and 1070ti might die first like monitor before i replace them

This is true, and it is not only from the perspective to the upgrade of the CPU, but you are upgrading to a newer platform the brings newer technologies, like PCI Express or DDR4, and all of that will give better communication will all of the components. I went form a FX 8320E to a Ryzen 2600, this last one I bought with a X470 motherboard and 16GB DDR4 for 320€. I sold my old components in the second hand market, so the upgrade was very well priced. I could had bought CPUs like the 3900x, for what?
We are getting really good CPUs for the price range of 200€ and bellow, they can sustain, to a certain level, really high end GPUs. DDR4 still cheap, nice motherboards, it is really not expensive to migrate to a newer platform.
I've noticed that many users have an illogical aversion and reluctance when it comes to buying "lesser" CPUs. I know quite a few people who are still sitting on outdated, if not outright ancient CPUs as they save up for a flagship product. It's absurd, especially considering they could have doubled or tripled their current performance for a fraction of the cost. Truly baffling.

in June 2020 i upgraded to the video card i could afford Geforce 1660 Super from a Geforce 1050 2GB, Well didn't quite fit that well in my old OEM PC case, so i decided at the time ok will upgrade case, cpu, motherboard, and Ram to go along with it. Traded in The Older I7 7700, and it's Ram, and case and dvd drive, and all of that at local shop--and got a pretty decent system to last me quite a few years, though the case i picked out starting to not like so much--very hard to get the front cover loosen to Clean the front fans, and plastic like glass in front of them
Thermaltake V200 TG RGB
Intel I7 10700
Gigabyte B460M_DS3H
32GB of Ram DDR 4 2666mhz Corasir Vengenance
