minus-squareempireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up271·1 day agoDamn never thought the gaming PC I built two years ago would actually be APPRECIATING in value over time.
minus-squareAsmodeus_Krang@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up72·1 day agoIt’s truly mental. I don’t think I could afford to build my PC at the same spec today with RAM and SSD prices being what they are.
minus-squaretempest@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up43·1 day agoI have 128 GB of ddr5 memory in my machine. I paid 1400 for my 7900xtx which I thought was crazy and now half my ram is worth that. Never thought I would see the day where the graphics card was not the most expensive component.
minus-squarecouldhavebeenyou@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 day agoMaybe you should have bought 256 GB
minus-squaretempest@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·22 hours agoI should not have even gotten the 128. I can use it but barely at 4600 because ryzen chips can’t handle 4 dimms of 32gvb. I honestly didn’t even bother to check at the time of purchase and it is is still a roll of the dice if I restart.

minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up47·1 day agoJust about all electronics older than a year or so have. Even a Switch, which came out 9 years ago, costs more to buy now than it did then!

minus-squarefartographer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 hours agoCertainly the most powerful GPU I’ve bought! I got mine 2 years ago for about $120, and it’s been great for my docker containers!
