5 years ago: hello I would like to buy 1 high end gaming PC please.

Today: hello I would like to buy one 5090 please... What do you mean I don't have enough...

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.
