My last system build was like back in 2012, system in my sig. Time to update the core parts.
Just looking at Desktop Memory prices, I am freaking shocked at the crazy high prices right now WTF ?
I was thinking if your building a new Gaming PC today, and plan to have it least for 5 or so years, I'd go with 32GB DDR4 ( 16GB X 2 ), especially if you going to be 4K gaming too, which I do. But WOW 32GB is running like $400+ !!!!!!!! Even 16GB ( 8GB x 2 ) is still $200+.
Seems motherboards, cpu's, ssd's, have all stayed around the same prices as years ago, no real change there, heck SSD's have come down in price, with the sizes larger, right now 512GB SSD is pretty affordable. But man the Memory pricing is outrageous, why ?
