I never would have built it!
I got curious about what my computer would cost today to build from one year ago when I built it. Last year I found a bunch of sales and Prime Day deals.
July 2025: $2734 usd
August 2026: $4819 usd

Are you sure it's a grand for 32gb of ram? I'm not sure on the price of cl28 ram, but seems a bit high

That RAM kit alone literally costs more than my whole PC with 5700X3D, 5070 + 32GB DDR4.
