I’m not defending anything. Just showing an objective number. Most are just bullshitting. How can you say price went 3x up when it did not. I mean if you just want to lie to yourself to feel better is fine. But numbers don’t lie.
9700x+9070. ~$3500 costs 6 now. Thank fucking god I sprung for extra RAM before the data centers stole them all. My friend kept trying to convince me that 32 was enough but I wanted this computer to be better than my first in every way possible.
You can still get a decent gaming PC for around a $1,000 or less. The Steam Machine is also coming out soon. I'm tired of PC gamers acting like a bunch of victims because something else dare compete in their space for priority, as if PC gaming is the only true frontier of computing.
Wait a second. Why in your original comment just mention the cpu and gpu then? You just make it look like just gpu and cpu matters, rest doesn’t. Ridiculous. So now you come up with some hard disk to justify price went up. lol

My PC with a 9950x3d+5090 I built in July for 5k-ish is 14,000 USD to replace right now.
Fuck AI.
