I would avoid building a PC right now, but if you can't, here's our best advice.

I went to a pc building shop and the price of 64 RAM DDR5 was over $1000. I could have built an entire PC with that price a year ago.

    How about just don’t buy a PC for now? I’m sure the machine you’ve got in good enough. Just hang on to it until the prices come back down

      Yeah, it sucks though. It feels like building a PC has been inadvisable more often than not. Thanks to the GPU prices being ridiculous a while back. Now this. It’s crazy that you have to time building a PC between these stupid waves.

        True! It is frustrating. I fear the days of custom PC builds are coming to an end.

        Even before this recent price hike it was a lot more expensive than it used to be.
