Yeah, I splurged on some hardware upgrades with great shame almost 2 years ago because I was preparing for the idiotic tariffs, expecting modest price increases.

I did not expect a 5x. So glad that I did it. It would no longer be an option.

    I did not ever think PC prices would go as crazy as they are now.

    but I thank my fucking asscheeks every day that I upgraded my CPU, GPU and RAM right before the shit hit the fan just by pure luck and coincidence.

    I still wish I had a better GPU, I had to settle for the one I got cause finances.. but I sure as fuck aint getting anything better for a reasonable price at this rate.

    I'm rockin a 6700xt for my gpu :\

    I really shouldnt complain, its a great card, it just doesnt have the horse power to chug through the bullshit lack of optimization in Unreal5 based games. especially ones that force some form of raytracing to be on with no toggle.

    I built a new PC around that time for the same reason. I am kicking myself for not getting more ram.
