I got a 1 TB 980 for $90 a couple years ago for my game and page file drive. Also Patriot 2x8 5600 also for like $80 in 2023. Very disappointing what has happened since then.

I built my PC in 2024. Okay specs - 7950X3D, 2x 48GB DDR5-6400, 4090, 1+4TB Samsung 990, all watercooled. About £4k total.
Today I could sell that PC for about 10-12k. RAM was originally £300, now it's £1800 IF you can buy it. The storage also cost me around £400, today, easily £1500.

Tf do you mean “okay specs”?!?
I built my PC in 2023, right between the covid GPU bullshit and the AI everything bullshit. 5800X3D, 7900XTX (MSRP!), 64GB DDR4-3600 (slimmed down to 32GB because XMP didn’t play nice with 4 sticks, the other 32GB went to a server in my basement), and 500GB+2TB WD Black NVME SSDs.
I thought mine was beastly 😂

TBF I was going all out 😂but yeah the fact that my build essentially tripled in price is insane.

I’m a hoarder who never uninstalls Steam games even if I don’t foresee playing them again. I bought an 8TB nvme drive last summer for $545. I questioned my life choices when I bought it, but now the same drive is $1750. I feel better about my purchase.
