SSDs are downright cheap lately!

[–] dudewitbow@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Anything memory related is fairly cheap. Ddr4 ram is dirt cheap because were still in the transition to ddr5. And ddr5 is less inflated now then it was with alder lakes and later am5s launch.

Gpu makers still have a surplus of last gen gpus, cases prices are start to normalize as covid shipping pricing has come back down (which hits large products margins more than small ones)

The only part in my opinion really went up over time is motherboards.

Damn. Motherboard is probably my most immediate need, my current one just barely fits my GPU, getting the RAM in around it was a struggle, and I had to scrap the wifi card I wanted. (Yeah, yeah, wired is better, but it's not convenient for me RN. :P)
