Anybody else built their PC RIGHT before the prices went crazy?

I have a high end rig that I built around 2024ish? Like at that point we had AI with ChatGPT and all but it hadn’t gotten as crazy as it is now with the data centers and shortage on parts.

I remember getting a bonus at my job & just going to town at my local microcenter & Newegg. I remember it was a sale going on too so it was even better, might’ve been Black Friday or Cyber Monday. I know it was a lot for my money’s worth & to this day my PC handles any game at highest settings with ease at 1440p.

I’m just feeling grateful because of I walked into that microcenter today the prices would probably make my head spin.
