Jesus, this is insane.

I planned to build a gaming PC a while ago, just when prices startet to go up. And I know I won't game that much on a PC, so I don't want to spend too much money on it. Just a few days ago I talked to a friend about a Steam Deck as an alternative, lol. Guess that's not an option anymore.

Your best bet is to just build it with used parts and stick to an older ddr4 build. A Ryzen 5000 build is still a very capable machine and ddr4 hasn't been nearly as effected by the memory crisis as ddr5.
