This hurts, I finally decided to build my first own PC like 2 months ago, got everything planned out but decided to wait for black friday to actually order all the parts. Now I have everything except RAM and an SSD, because I refuse to pay those prices 🥲 Maybe I'll buy a single second hand 8GB stick just to find out whether my system even boots..

    My current PC is decently specced today but it's definitely a very ship of Theseus situation. Everything apart from the ram and motherboard has been changed over the years as new deals sprung up and I could afford better parts. You can definitely make due with less until either the shit floats away or you end up in a better financial situation.

    Yeah, that's what I'm hoping to do with my system too! I'm not even in a bad financial situation rn, I just don't really need that PC asap and don't want to encourage the current market by actually buying at those inflated prices. It's gonna be a very cool setup once DDR5 RAM goes back to being affordable, but in the meantime it's just a very expensive adhd pile on my floor xD
