for those shopping for new PCs and are open to build one, it seems like the overall BOM has been overall lesser than a few months back. the big caveat being that you need a decent GPU.
having been in the market for one, i did make some compromise for the build (single stick of 16 GB for now; a non "future-proof" GPU within the budget). however for a decent spec (last-gen x3D CPU, mid-range RTX) build, the GPU price reduction made up for the premium on RAM.
the sad reality since the turn of the decade is that the $1000 mark for a well-rounded (gaming) system has now bumped up to $1500-$2000.
crazy time to be alive, where on laptop side, macs are now a "decent" value. especially if you were going to get the higher spec to unlock the specific memory tier. thanks work for setting me up well with one!
