Thought I could wait to build a new PC, but at this point, it’ll be another 5-10 years before things start getting better. After the price of the steam machine, I ordered parts to build my own. Such a bad time to build, but it’s just gonna get worse the longer I wait.
If they get better. By the time the AI sector collapses under the weight of its own bullshit, things will have already gotten significantly worse. You’ll be less worried about RAM prices and more worried about bread prices.
Don’t worry you might get $25 in a class action for bread price fixing. I think there should be a class action against the manufactures of Ram and hard drives. Most companies scale up when they have more demand, these fucks ain’t, theyre pulling a classic OPEC
I am figuring on selling off my previous machine once the teething issues with the new one has been resolved. Given these specs, what would be a fair price, Lemmings? I was guessing around $2,250 without the drives, but I am not really on the pulse of the market.

CPU = Ryzen 5950x + Noctua heatsink with Kryosheet.
PSU = SeaSonic Vertex GX-1200
MOBO = Crosshair Hero VIII + WiFi
CASE = Rosewill Thor V2
RAM = DDR4 3600, 128gb total, came as a kit of 4 sticks.
STORAGE (OPTIONAL) = x2 to x5 4tb SSD SATA drives, non-NVME.

The biggest issue here is doing an RMA on the CPU. It is unstable when PBO is enabled. Since I suck at techno surgery, I wouldn’t be able to install the replacement without forking over money to a technician. Maybe I can make that contingent on buying at least 2 SSD SATA drives?
My new machine has only 4 SATA ports, and the SATA card to support all five SSDs and the optical disc drive is taking up a GPU slot. Being able to buy some 2280 M2 drives would solve that problem for me. That would gel nicely with a technician handling the transfer of the SATA SSDs back to the old machine for the new owner, since the tech can also get the M2 and a third GPU into my new PC.

I could crash the prices by tomorrow if I wanted to. All I’d have to do is buy some ram today.
This is /r/wallstreetbets logic. I approve.
