I went to a pc building shop and the price of 64 RAM DDR5 was over $1000. I could have built an entire PC with that price a year ago.

So do we expect the cost of gpu's to also rise due to this? Some money is opening up and next year I wanted to upgrade anyway. Might just need to buy it earlier

Yes GPU prices will rise too.

Top GPUs used to be like 600CAD. Then the covid thing happened and they've never come back down.
