I would avoid building a PC right now, but if you can’t, here’s our best advice.

I went to a pc building shop and the price of 64 RAM DDR5 was over $1000. I could have built an entire PC with that price a year ago.

    “avoid building a PC right now” is advice I’ve been following since 2017

    And honestly yeah. I guess at this point if you can afford it, just pull the plug whenever, it’s always some bullshit going on the PC Market anyway.

      I built my PC in 2019 right at the end of the year and I thank the gods everyday. I’ve only done one CPU upgrade since and it’s still great for 1440p gaming. The whole tower minus monitor and what not was probably like $900 at the time

        Same timing for me also. Still plays new games relatively well. Especially considering I have an ultra wide monitor
