last time I built one was in 2012. That was a golden age for PC builds
Can’t really remember the last time it wasn’t a horrible time to build a PC.

Pre-COVID, when the Ethereum mining went crazy… so around the time of the RTX 2000 series? Which honestly was pretty lacklustre compared to the GTX 1000 series…
So yeah, it’s been a while!

That’s when I build my current machine. Looks like upgrading is off the menu. Again.

Honestly, if you don’t mind gaming at 1080p, and keeping graphical settings reasonable in order to maintain a playable frame rate - you could be OK for a couple more years.
Otherwise if the upgrade itch just becomes too much, the Steam Machine could very well be a suitable entry point - provided that RAM model prices don’t continue to skyrocket.
I truly cannot wait for the day that the current AI bubble bursts.
