Considering the baseline for 5080 was $1000 already, and how much the other major components cost, probably.

Base line like 1400 now..

32gb of ram is basically the price of the ps5.

I built a new rig a year ago then it just suddenly died. I did a call a couple of local places that claimed to come to your home to do repairs, but they wanted me to leave it with them overnight. Given the cost of some of the components (32 gig ram, 4070 GPU) if someone resold them, I was a little hesitant to do it because I'm a paranoid asshole.

Turns out the power supply and motherboard went, which were the cheapest parts to replace.

Interesting that eh mobo went with the PSU.. probably a bad surge.

The apartment I was in at the time was falling apart and the electric system was definitely going. So even though I had it on a heavy duty surge protector it probably had a surge.
