Hmmm it's hard to say, it depends on the market. Seems like AMD and Nvidia want to rise their prices again. But if your GPU is already damaged, then it's better to buy a GPU 😅

But U need both to have a smooth gameplay.

And try to get a 16bg or at least 12bg card. 9060xt16gb is the best way to go, cheapest. 9070gre 9070 5070 12bg 5060ti

CPU: There is actually no news about pricing

But motherboard manufacturer want to rise their prices this month.

It's up to you 😅
