Two years later everything is so much cheaper too (except that moment when GPUs went crazy expensive).

I have the impression that soon "any" pc will be totally okay for almost any workload, if it isn't already.

16GB of RAM, 512GB/1TB of SSD and a hexacore is like cheap nowadays...

    'any pc' is definitely not good enough. Minimum required specs will just keep rising and rising.I think even stuff like Fifa 23 requires at least an 1060 to run at the bare minimum. In 5-10 years you need a 30 or 40 series card to run games at minimum specs

    Yeah true gaming seems to be a never ending requirement for more power.

    It's like the interaction between college tuition and the amount lenders will distribute in student loans.

    Lenders: "Oh, college is more expensive now...I guess we should increase our borrowing limits for students..."

    Colleges: "Oh look, lenders are increasing borrowing limits! I guess that means we can increase tuition!"
