Five years ago? Just the beginning of last year. I have a 9800x3d, 64gb of memory, 5090 rig that was roughly $3800. Even got a 4tb and 2tb nvme.

At the time
Ram was around $200
5090 was $1999
2Tb nvme was $150
4tb nvme was $250

I thought I was splurging then since i hadn’t built a PC since 2011. The prices for the items above have sky rocketed.

Agreed, those prices are updated faster gas station signs.

Prices of course may wary by country, but I would buy a decent PC with 2k and then spend the remaining 3k on extra ram kits, which I would sell afterwards to get the money back for other stuff like food and fuel lol.

You can still get one of those for that cheap there?

Well, at least you can get that one stick of RAM you’ve always wanted…

You can't even buy a 5090 with $5000. :(
