It’s tough being interested in tech now.

So someone in the extended family is looking at getting a new PC, and normally I’m all in to helping with that. I enjoy browsing parts, looking for deals, and otherwise just sniffing around and seeing what I can find.

However the situation with RAM and Storage just has me shaking my head.

I bought this same kit of RAM about a year ago for less than half of what it’s going for on Amazon right now.

Even smaller kits are just getting stupid in price. So this time around digging into parts kits something that I would have easily been able to do for around 1000$ is suddenly looking like a 1300$ affair. And god help you if you wanted something with a GPU in the thing.

It’s just dissapointing that for the first time in as long as I can remember the amount of computer that you can buy for a given price has dropped significantly.
