  1. I'm glad I upgraded my PC in 2023.

    Got a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM from MicroCenter in an in-store deal at the time (their combo deals are insane even today) whereby I was given 32GB of DDR5-6000 DRAM for 1 penny. (Its list price in the store was $149.99.)

    I just did a NewEgg search for the same DRAM kit and found it at $933.99.

  2. Using a Samsung 9100 Pro 8TB as my everyday gaming SSD is probably a bit overkill, especially inside an older AM4 PC without PCIe 5.0. Mine isn't really getting a lot of GBs written or even read, but it was the best NVMe drive I could find back in 2025. I still have 4.33TB of free space available. Still plenty of room to grow! 😎

  3. Oh, wow! AMD officially brings back the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, the king of AM4! But, as much as I appreciate this, I'm not gonna buy it. Cause I already have the 5700X3D! 😜

  4. The cost for assembling a new Linux / Windows PC system is not getting any less expensive 😕

    This list is for new parts, it would be less expensive with used or reconditioned ones.
