    Who cares if a MSRP$199 motherboard now costs $239 instead of the $249 it did last month? RAM is still thousands of dollars. GPUs are still thousands of dollars.

    There is no point trying to build a PC anymore. Run what you have until the industry collapses, and only spend any money on indie games. The industry has chosen to fuck you over completely. Never forget that.
