[–] AskewLord@piefed.social 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 child) my nephew build a pc this winter. he paid like 2K for roughly the same spec that my older nephew built in '23 and paid like $800 for. only thing that wasn't a massive price increase was motherboard, case and power supply. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] trebach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago Newegg was bundling other parts with video cards to deter scalping. I got a Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT 16GB and 750W power supply for $630 a few months back. It's now "on sale" by itself for $790. Months before that it was closer to $500! The Seagate Exos 20 TB hard drives I paid $350-$400 each for over a year ago are now $793. It's absolutely insane. permalink fedilink source parent
