Will you upgrade your PC now that you have a steam deck? (links.wageoffsite.com)

Many people have, like me, realized that they use their deck more than their main rig.

For the last few years I've gone from 1080p to 1440p to 4k to 800p and don't think my main box will need to get beefier until the next big VR advancement. My machine is already three years old. I may rock it for another three at this pace.

How many of you will be laying off of CPU/GPU upgrades since handheld are so compelling?

Of course I will. I'd rather play with a keyboard and mouse for most of my games, plus I use my desktop for a lot more than gaming. I already upgraded from 1080p to 1440p monitors and I have no desire to go higher than that, but more hard drive space is always a boon. It may be longer in between full desktop upgrades though, used to be roughly every 4 years but I've had this machine for 4 years already with a GPU upgrade about half-way through and I could go for another couple of years (barring some catastrophe) on it.
