Best Time to Buy New GPU

i still waited more than a year to upgrade...

in the end - i bought a pre-built pc with an 3070 (i think in summer this year; for 1800)
normally i would never buy pre-built. Iusually build it on my own...

but it was an okayish Deal, and mostly the only opportunity to get an 3070 at this time... (prices were ~1000 for an msi 3070)
