We’re currently in what I’m calling “RAMaggeddon.” DDR4 and DDR5 memory prices have nearly tripled across most brands and speeds, and SSD prices are climbing too. Because of this, the total cost of the build templates listed below may be around $100 - $300 higher than their original estimates. For example, the $1250 Nvidia Gaming PC Build Template now comes in closer to $1500. These price spikes are temporary, but if you’re planning a new build right now, adjust your budget accordingly before purchasing parts.
