Build Now or Wait?
I currently am rocking a 2015 laptop for gaming that is on its last legs. I would like to build a PC now using microcenter before I move away from a nearby store...I have heard new tech coming soon from microcenter staff and people talking on this forum and am unsure what to do. No matter what I do its going to be a big upgrade from my previous computer.
Here is my list that I have narrowed down too if I build now with the help of friends and the admin on this page. (Not super interested in the new 10th Gen intel processors, but any other final tips are appreciated)

Turns out the Gigabyte 5700XT I was looking at is now sold out. Can either go for the Sapphire Tech Nitro+, Sapphire Tech Pulse 5700xt, or Go over to a rtx 2070 Super,

Hello @incrediblepulk
The only big announcements I can see coming are new GPUs like Nvidia's 3000 Series as well as AMDs response to it. These will also be in the next few months to possibly 4-6 months before release. I think it's fine to go forward with an upgrade as you are close to Micro Center now.
