my nephew build a pc this winter. he paid like 2K for roughly the same spec that my older nephew built in '23 and paid like $800 for.

only thing that wasn't a massive price increase was motherboard, case and power supply.

    Newegg was bundling other parts with video cards to deter scalping. I got a Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT 16GB and 750W power supply for $630 a few months back. It's now "on sale" by itself for $790. Months before that it was closer to $500!

    The Seagate Exos 20 TB hard drives I paid $350-$400 each for over a year ago are now $793.

    It's absolutely insane.
