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.

    Ah, completely forgot that Intel 6th gen introduced DDR4 - I would’ve sworn it was much more recent than that!

    You’ve certainly gotten your money’s worth out of your system - that’s for sure!

    I went from a 3570K, 16GB, GTX 670 -> GTX 1080 (later SLI’d), to my current rig:

    5950X, 32GB, RTX 3090 -> RX 7900 XTX

    Just before the Ethereum mining rush took off, and with the current pricing due to AI fuckery - I don’t think I’ll be switching up anytime soon.

      Gratz! That seems like you got really good timing to upgrade and then hold on for a bit :)
