If you've been trying to build a PC lately, you've probably noticed RAM prices going absolutely nuts— DDR5 kits doubling in price, and even specific high-end kits jumping up to 619% in some regions. It's frustrating, especially when you're trying to build or upgrade on a budget. Now with Christmas here, we're getting free games for PC or laptop from Epic Games , but it's kinda sad we can't afford the RAM to run them properly. This feels like a vicious cycle: after AI drove up GPU prices first, now it's RAM. How sad is it to have games ready to play, finally manage to grab a decent GPU, and then can't afford the RAM? The sad part is that a lot of companies seem focused on AI workloads and data centers , while the regular users gamers, students, creators are the ones feeling locked out. We’re still the customers for both games and AI tools , but right now it doesn’t really feel that way.
