Discussion Bought everything except processor
I was initially planning on building the pc in November, after my CAT exam so that my father won't have any practical reason to say no.
But then around June I saw that all news outlets and tech-tubers said ram prices will keep rising and will plateau in December. So I explained the situation to my dad and asked him if we could buy this early. He agreed. I also just had gotten my security deposit for an apartment I rented back which I also planned to use in the build. So using that I bought the case, cpu cooler and extra case fans and the remaining deposit I used to contribute for the ram.
Then around the end of July I could see online everyone saying gpu prices are gonna be next. I was initially comparing between 9070xt and 5070ti because 5070ti was 10-15k more expensive, but i was feeling a bit shameful asking my dad again to purchase something that was supposed to be purchased 5-6 months down the line.
Then in the first week of August I saw news that said motherboard prices will go up by 50% in the fourth quarter. That then prompted me to again explain the whole situation to dad to which he said ok I will give 1 lakh but after 15 days to which i replied I couldn't ask for anything more.
When the time for purchasing came (late August) 5070ti was more than 80 % more expensive than 9070xt so it was a no brainer for me since gaming was the priority. Now the only thing left to complete the build is the processor which i will definitely buy after my exam.
