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.

    My 7900xtx was a rollercoaster of emotions all the way till now, so I decided to buy nvidia even tho I don't support them as a company in the slightest (nor do I support amd at this point, considering they dipped in same AI bubble as soon as they had the chance).

    So yeah, "I will just buy next top-tier gpu as soon as it arrives" was looking like this for past couple of years:

    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.
