Damn never thought the gaming PC I built two years ago would actually be APPRECIATING in value over time.

    I have 128 GB of ddr5 memory in my machine. I paid 1400 for my 7900xtx which I thought was crazy and now half my ram is worth that.

    Never thought I would see the day where the graphics card was not the most expensive component.

    Maybe you should have bought 256 GB

    I should not have even gotten the 128.

    I can use it but barely at 4600 because ryzen chips can't handle 4 dimms of 32gvb.

    I honestly didn't even bother to check at the time of purchase and it is is still a roll of the dice if I restart.

    Just about all electronics older than a year or so have. Even a Switch, which came out 9 years ago, costs more to buy now than it did then!

    Wait what? I still remembered it as a recent console...

    I feel like my brain is stuck. When I think of most powerful GPU, my brain's muscle memory replies with 1080 Ti.
