> [@Cavemanthe0ne](#): > > $2500 system It’s ridiculous how fast you can reach that amount and still not have the “top of the line” parts. Mine’s about the same (incl. monitors, peripherals and ext.

I mean The $600 NVME 800gb SSD is the biggest reason its $2600 or so and not $1700 or $1800 but yep Also the ram is freakishly overpriced because I habe 32gb of 3200mhz so theres also that (when I got it it was $170… Now is $360 ) Other than those two things though its pretty much what you said. ---

> [@Cavemanthe0ne](#): > > (when I got it it was $170… Now is $360 ) Unless one really needs a new PC, patience is the way to go. Waiting for the prices to normalize again. GPU retail prices seem to have gone down to somewhat normal again too (under $300 for a 580 8GB or 1060 6GB). But RAM prices are still fucked (more than 100% more expensive in your case is insane). ---

The other thing is that generally I don’t build a PC all at once, I have left overs from old rigs constantly lol. That and I buy new hardware … Roughly every 4-6 months for my build (though lately not much because pricing is a dick for GPUs which is the only thing I could really upgrade and have it matter for performance lol) So the value Kind of creeps up over time. Also the fact that ancient (relatively) hardware is still reasonably good and worth a fair amount is a factor. My 390X is worth as much and performs as well as my 580 (well… If the 580 I had was an 8gb it would but still) which is… Unusual but now normal I guess in GPUs. _looks at 7970/280Xs lol_ Also stuff like my speakers and audio gear that doesnt really lose value after a certain point is a thing. ---

I run my AC off the same power strip as my PC. AC pulls 1120W, my PC pulls 76-288W, power strip is rated for 1950W. Magic Ryzen + Vega voodoo bullshit power sipping.
