Who cares if a MSRP$199 motherboard now costs $239 instead of the $249 it did last month? RAM is still thousands of dollars. GPUs are still thousands of dollars.

There is no point trying to build a PC anymore. Run what you have until the industry collapses, and only spend any money on indie games. The industry has chosen to fuck you over completely. Never forget that.

Most of these manufacturers will go out of business by the time the AI bubble bursts and you still won't be able to buy one for a reasonable amount. They're intentionally destroying the market so you're forced into cheap cloud-based devices they can force you into contracts to run.
