    To be honest, i’d rather wait 6 months if that means the prices are not completly fucked.

    I’m currently building a pc for my kid and i had to go to a DDR3 system from 2014 to have decent prices. The market is so screwed right now.

        I hope so, i got one :). But nvme is expensive, gpu is expensive, it just sucks. But, the kid will learn about upgrading your stuff, i hope :)

        This is what i donated to my SO and she is happily gaming on it every now and then. It may be old but it is still good.

      Would be ideal to release with the price they need it to be and do a price cut later but I know that’s difficult to do realistically.

      We’re not getting any younger here. Prices have been creeping up for a while and the longer we wait, the idea of saving a few hundred dollars might end up being a wash with inflation and time lost. Also, there’s no guarantee prices won’t be even higher in 6 months.
