> I have no idea why anyone would even consider building a PC with prices this inflated.

I did recently, specifically targeting lower capacities for the components that have been increasing (RAM and storage).

It didn’t seem like prices would be going down for a while and I didn’t have a desktop pc otherwise, so just went for it. We’ll see how it all plays out but I don’t think it was a terrible decision, as long as prices stay high for a couple years it still makes sense to just suffer through the increases
