PC Gamers: Are You Planning on Upgrading your SSD's/HDDs?

The bare minimum requirement will become a SATA SSD, so NVMe is still a bit of a luxury in that regard.

As for upgrades, two NVMe-s are all I'll need, so that is the planned addition (CPU, GPU, and RAM are already head-and-shoulders above the upcoming consoles). There will still be advantages to the PC structure, regardless of the NVMe, but the folks creating games will be making sure to take advantage of the speed of the console's SSDs, which will make it a little trickier for PC users, but I don't see any massive shifts.

Using the UE5 demo as an example — it was efficiently coded to work with the PS5 (and would be for the XSX too), whereas I would brute force it using my PC's specs (which would actually blaze through it like a fire through a forest). My CPU threads would offset my currently much slower SATA SSD (it has nothing on either console's drive). The prospects are exciting when you think about for the consoles and, in my eyes, even more so on PC with PCI-E 5.0 on the way.

I'm planning on upgrading chipset anyway for my 3900x as I'm using a B450 board and looking to upgrade to B550 when that becomes available, which is what's tempting me to go for Gen 4 next year at the same time, the differences are very minimal in day to day tasks but it would help give that peace of mind. 

I'll probably sell my 2070 Super for RTX 3070 if there are enough improvements between the two also. I can't see myself parting with this CPU for a very very long time, though.
