Motherboard sales are apparently going down dramatically, and CPU/GPU prices are expected to increase soon. Better buy your pre-builts now! Steam Machine will practically feel like a god send at anything less than $1K. |
Some retailers around here have seen a 50% drop in motherboard sales in the past month, it's really bad. And GPU prices will jump again, I think AMD is hiking their prices today (literally today). It's disastrous. I'm glad I have a rig that will be good for years yet, but I dread having to upgrade anything in the near future, or if something croaks on me and needs replacement.
Edit; I just looked around a bit - in my first post in the thread, I mentioned the RAM-kit I have costs 600 dollars now. Well, it costs 680 dollars today, that's almost 15% up in the past two weeks, and things will only get worse.
