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.

    Gratz! That seems like you got really good timing to upgrade and then hold on for a bit :)

      Yeah, in hindsight it really landed at an opportune time.

      It’s a crying shame how greedy companies like Nvidia & Micron have gotten from back-to-back runs on their products - it feel like it will take a generational downturn for them to pull their heads in, and return to the more modest profit margins of the past (which even then was around 30%, IIRC).
