    Let’s hope it keeps climbing, but with the price GPUs are going for right now not many people are getting into PCs in general.

      GPU prices have lowered significantly over the last months. A radeon RX 6600 starts at ~200€ and is easily faster than any console GPU. Even a RTX 4070 is ~650€ atm. So I’d say right now is actually a pretty good time to build a pc!

    I recently retired my hand me down gaming PC because of overheating problems and cannibalized it to build up another SFF PC I got. I have a new graphics card coming (certainly not a recently released card) so I can play some of the games I like to play so I’ll be back on PC gaming soon. It’s a dual boot setup and the main reason I keep windows is for ham radio programs and fallout 🥴
