Newegg was bundling other parts with video cards to deter scalping. I got a Sapphire Pulse 9070 XT 16GB and 750W power supply for $630 a few months back. It’s now “on sale” by itself for $790. Months before that it was closer to $500!
The Seagate Exos 20 TB hard drives I paid $350-$400 each for over a year ago are now $793.
Prices could come down during the upcoming crash of the economy. Trouble is, that means consumers won’t have money, and billionaires will buy it all up on the cheap.
PC parts
my nephew build a pc this winter. he paid like 2K for roughly the same spec that my older nephew built in '23 and paid like $800 for.
only thing that wasn’t a massive price increase was motherboard, case and power supply.

It’s absolutely insane.
Yeah, I think the only new part my pc sees between 2025-??? is the case.
I want to upgrade, but i can at least comfortably play every game that is out so I can eait.
The assumption is that prices will come down again. I suspect not :(
