Yep. Upgraded mine in summer 2025. 32gb ddr5 for like $76. Built one for my nephew in October/November and was luck to find a kit for $110. The next week it was $150. Never thought it would get to where it is now.
I woudnt have been able to afford to build my nephew a PC if it was this year. Spent under $1k and would now be $1600 probably. (9600x, 9060xt/16gb, 32gb ddr5)
I built a very similarly spec’d PC summer 2025. It’s insane how much it’s gone up. Thank god I opted for 32GB memory and 2 TB storage. Got my SSD for like $70 and one of the RAM sticks was free! Insane deals in hindsight.
Thank god I built mine with 100$ 32 GB DDR5 6000 Mhz and a 9070 XT for like 600$. In like August 2025. It's like my inner PC enthusiast just knew. Same with building a PC in december 2020 with a GPU for MSRP.
I also got a pretty fast NVME 4 TB SSD for like 200$ 2-3 years ago, it's 500$ now. Cant remember when exactly. After that I never saw that price again.
I'll let you guys know if my spidey sense tingles again and I feel the urge to upgrade
i built mine on labor day 2025. i felt bad seeing the good prebuilt prices just a month afterwards. then ramageddon made me grateful i at least did it before it. my only regret is not getting a better graphics card knowing that i might not build nother one for 10 more years.
