I wonder how long I can keep going with my Ryzen 5 3600, 1660 Super and 16GB of RAM... 🤔

I mean the only thing in recent years that performed like utter shit was Stalker 2. And I mean... They made that game in the middle of a war so I have to cut them a little slack. 🤷♂️
Fucking sucks. Literally just started building a computer for my husband. We already bought the case, motherboard, PSU, HD, liquid cooling kit and CPU... All that's left is GPU and RAM 😭 fuckin half way ass done computer now on the verge of never being built. At least it's pretty. 
At least the AMD chips have an integrated GPU so with some ram you could have a basic computer.
Can confirm, I'm running 3x 4K monitors with Ryzen 9900X easily. I'm not into gaming, though.
It's the RAM that's extremely expensive 😭
I’m really glad I met my memory needs last year. The price is completely unjustifiable. AI will blow over (revert to reasonable expectations) and when it does, hopefully there will be something left of the market so that we still have companies left to sell us RAM.
Yeah, I still can't quite believe that I got 2x32 of 6400CL32 for $135 late last year. I had ordered 6000CL30 for $190, but it was taking a long time to ship, and then I saw the deal and cancelled the old order. Used up all my luck for this decade.
I'm sad I chose to wait. Linux kernel 6.15 finally fixed my GPU but I got no RAM to run it with
A couple months ago I decides to buy another set of RAM to get up to 64 GB on a whim. So damn glad I decided to treat myself for once, no way I'd do it now.
