Don't buy a new computer this year.

 

Do not under any circumstances, buy a new computer this year. RAM and video cards are ridiculously over priced and SSD prices are following the trend. No new computer you buy this year is going to be worth the cost. Even if your computer is 10 years old, hang on to it until at least 2027, it is probably good enough. Even if your system breaks, repair it if possible and if not, buy something used to get you by, old Dell's and HP's are cheap and plentiful.

There is no new software coming out this year that is a must have. All the triple A games that will come out this year will still be available next year and they will cost you less and Microsoft certainly isn't putting out anything this year that your life will depend on.
