Hey guys, just saw some pretty concerning news for anyone planning a PC upgrade or a new build soon. Apparently, memory prices for RAM and SSDs are about to shoot way up, like 40-50% in the next quarter alone, and it's only going to get worse through next year, all thanks to AI data centers buying up all the available stock. This means building a new rig or even getting a Steam Machine is going to get seriously expensive, and even phones and laptops aren't safe from the hikes. It's a real bummer, especially when we're already dealing with so many costs here. Honestly, I'm just hoping this AI hype bubble bursts soon so we can actually afford our tech again.
