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.

    Lol what?? 5800X3D was like $250 when I bought mine. I wouldn’t say it was cheap but its defintely not a “money is no issue” kind of number.

    Edit: alright rereading your comment, you were probably talking about people who want to buy a 5800X3D right now with today’s price, and not just anyone who was ever in the market for 5800X3D-level CPUs

      $250 is a steal but i’ve not seen it below $500 which is a lot to spend on a cpu.

        I think I must have got it on sale or a very low point. Definitely was a nice upgrade! I had been non-seriously looking at 5950X or 5900XT as a sidegrade but I can’t really justify that cost for something that is not a substantial upgrade, and now they seem to be totally out of stock anywhere I look. Oh well!
