About to? Comparatively it's been up for quite some time now and I expect it to get more expensive as we go. Used to be $1000 could build you a pretty decent PC for gaming. Now? $2000+. And the tariffs are just gonna exacerbate everything for Americans.
I just spent $4,000 CAD on mine and I'm glad I didn't wait any longer.
Looks like I'm running the 1660 Super for the next decade
GPU brother!
This is why I built my new pc, my wifes new pc and built a friend a new pc. The writing was on the wall and you had to have been blind not to see it.
Gonna reduce that e-waste... Used prices will be higher
Is the US really that central to PC component manufacturing, or is this (mostly) just a US thing? Like, don't get me wrong, I know a lot of these companies are US-based, but isn't basically all the manufacturing and most of the distribution handled elsewhere?
