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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] couldhavebeenyou@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago (2 children) Maybe you should have bought 256 GB permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] tempest@lemmy.ca 8 points 7 months ago (1 child) I should not have even gotten the 128.
