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.

I am running a 2020 ryzen 5950x CPU and a 2080TI I got from a closing down sale of a computer store for $700 in 2019, just before the first Crypto rush.

I dont see myself buying any hardware for performance reasons for the next 3 years. Also not buying new AAA games anymore.

Small studio and indie titles on 50% off steam sales has been my jam of late.
