Iv come to learn over the years. If you want to buy computer parts just do it.
Your actively stupid if you don't cause some bigger idiot with more money then brains will make a new grift that causes everything to be unaffordable.
Fuck waiting for deals, fuck thinking twice. Just fucking buy it and ignore reality around you cause you will be pissed either way.
Either a deal comes and you fucked yourself, or everything goes to the moon and now you have nothing AND your fucked.
Part of it the thrill of the hunt. I've caught some great deals over the years stalking marketplace.
Got .iso storage after chia crashed
Got a 3090 after Bitcoin asics took over
Got a 5900x when the X3D parts came out
But I've never seen decent RAM for sale, only single sticks or slow kits.
I fully agree it's worth waiting for the thrill of the deal.
The Chia crash was great. A local dude I found on Facebook marketplace bought a whole array worth of drives and never got around to even opening the packages for them.
I scored a great local deal on a PC last week, but unfortunately the only weak point of it is the 16GB of DDR5. So I guess for a while I'll just be chilling with equal amounts of GPU and system memory. Luckily I'm not a gamer and rarely limited by the system memory.
I just wanted to test if it was viable to run larger MoE LLMs on CPU, e.g. Qwen3-next-80B-A3B.. Even if I got acceptable generation speeds I'd probably get bored with it after a few hours, as with other local models. Had I got it for €700 it was pretty low value for money anyway, since my current RAM is enough for everything else I use the computer for. On the positive side, I can put that money towards a Steam Frame instead.
