So,, was thinking of getting a PS5 in February. Prices high. So I looked at desktop. Prices high. So I'm thinking, just build one. I used to build computers for friends. 2001. . Haven't built one 20 years. Went to Amazon, got all my stuffs, but couldn't decide on graphics. Found what I wanted... 2080ti black. I think 🤔.. welp $700. So I cheap out, got a rx 550 $160 new. This is in February remember, FOUR DAYS LATER, was showing a friend at work my lil parts list. The 550 was $299 USED! So upon further investigation, the 2080 ti was now $1600. What a difference a few days make . But I did manage a rx 470 on eBay for $200 so there's hope 🤣

    Well, yes, my brother also thought about buying a video card for a long time. Flocked by the 1660s. As a result, in January its price was about $ 250. After a few days of work, he once again went to the store's website and saw the price of $ 333. It was a difficult choice for him, but he made up his mind and bought, realizing that he had overpaid that kind of money. As a result, now he is laughing at the current prices :)

    I've got a 2060 Super, and the only way you'll get it is to pry it from my cold dead hands.  Seriously, best 2000-series nVidia card I own.
