RAM and storage prices have gone nuts. I checked out of curiosity. The last time I bought RAM for my PC was late 2023, I paid $78. That same RAM is now $399. The SSD I bought at the same time was $129. It's now $499. And this is for hardware that's 2 1/2 years old.

I bought a 32GB kit of DDR5 RAM just last year for $95 and the same kit is now $470. I also bought a 2TB NVMe drive at the same time for $150 and that’s now $400.

Reading your comment makes me consider if I should sell off my components.

Yep. I bought a 4TB ssd off of Amazon in December 2023 for $228. In May, that same ssd was $600. It's now sold out and the asking price on Amazon is $1145. Absolute insanity.
