MAN! I'm so glad I lucked out and built my rig back in NOV.
Looking at my pcpartpicker list, my PC was about $3800 total and it would cost me $5785. Almost $2K more. WOW!
I'm glad I went with 64GB, because my RAM cost me $380 for 2 sticks of 32 (thank you, Bob) and now i it's going for $1200.
Also, all the 4TB M2 NVME sticks have doubled in cost, from $230 to $570
It's getting crazy.

You would think that with these prices for new hardware, that I would be selling used laptops like crazy, but it's been a SLOW selling since the start of this year.

That's kinda neat. I would like the option from manufactures of LED equipped ram to offer LED only sticks to fill stuff out. Id be willing to pay around $20 for dummy sticks to have more lights.
