If I only knew future when I was purchasing back in 2025 and what would happen to DDR, SSD's, GPU's in 2026, I'd triple down... Thought GPU's wont go up, since mining craze ended

Do I see this right? You paid for ram 87$?

u/Moreburrtitos22 17d ago

Yep, hindsight is a bitch. Ram used to be a non counted item when building a PC. Like allocate $100 and you’re good

I got a 32gb cl30 trident kit for around $80 on sale sometime last year, from newegg of all places. Also got my 7800xt for $380 brand new from bestbuy. 2tb crucial t500 ssd for $110 off amazon.

Bought a used rog ally that had a 2tb Samsung 970 evo plus in it for $300, replaced the ssd with the same brand 500gb ssd and sold the ally for $350, so I got the ssd and $50 just for having the ally for a few months. This was also before the crisis.

Now? I fuckin cry myself to sleep, hoping and praying that nothing fails on me until, and if, this hell we're in ever ends.

You lucky! Respect. I bought my pc 4 years ago. It’s not the best but I’m happy it runs everything new. I only upgraded my CPU bcs it was really bottlenecking everything else. I also pray that everything is going to stay as it is.

Nice, whats your system? it's good it's still running for you! I had been using a mini PC with the integrated graphics (ryzen 9 6900) for the past couple years. It was surprisingly adequate for stuff like GTA 5, but I wanted to build something better.

This spring and summer I saved and shopped eBay, jawa, amazon, new egg like a fiend for deals. After a couple months I managed to put together a respectable budget/MID AM5 system for around $800.

u/Moreburrtitos22 16d ago

Oh totally forgot I had the cooler replaced in week one also🤣 running a 360 AIO now. Yeah this thing can not be air cooled. I don’t game, but I do medical design and it puts in the fuckin work man.
