Just adding another data point here, but for those who game on a PC, the GPU market was upside down for a while. It was cheaper to buy, say a Dell XPS, than build your own PC for a period of time.
Then prices plummeted, and all returned to normal. Not sure if it plays much of a factor, but it did for me when I was determining whether or not to buy or build.
