Yah prices haven't changed, sure bud. Graphic cards have gotten insanely expensive and now RAM and storage is going up to. What a bunch of BS that the prices haven't changed in 15 years.

I mean, excluding temporary price jumps that affect the entire industry like the current RAM and storage shortage... I assumed that was obviously implied.

Here's the thing: you don't need the newest, greatest graphics card. I've managed just fine for my entire life by never spending more than $800 or so on new PCs. (When I upgrade, I typically just replace everything and have a second PC, rather than replacing half of it and having spare parts). Do I have the best and latest? No, absolutely not, but I also said a "decent" gaming PC, not "the best PC money can buy". Certainly comparable to - or better than - current gen consoles.
