PC gaming has a pricing problem, and the memory crisis is compounding it in a way that's utterly heartbreaking for our hobby (www.pcgamer.com)

My first pc I remember most components costing about £80 for something decent but not amazing. Maybe the graphics card (a Radeon 9500 pro) was £125 or so? So I think it was in the region of £500... Too many years ago to mention. With inflation, that's way over £900, which is more than a $1000.
