Everyone decided to wait to upgrade till the new gpu's were announced from what I can tell. I upgraded my mobo & cpu in october and the same cpu (ryzen 5 3600x) is about £50 more expensive and there doesn't look to me that many units available.

The 30 series was also just a much bigger jump in performance for price than the 20 series represented over the generation before that.

And the 10xx generation was on market for a long time, meaning a lot of people (like me) are looking for an upgrade.
