It was hoped that memory prices would stabilize but datacenters are making further demand on supplies. Might be even longer for supplies to recover. I guess I won't be buying any memory this year.

    Which means that any new gen video cards will cost you a kidney.

    GPU prices, and now Ram. This Kingpin and my Corsair ram should last me awhile.

    Same here. Got my 1200w psu back when it was only $249.99 and got a $75.00 discount on it at the same time.
     

     
    Now this same psu is $329.99.

    This is just going to kill high end gaming rigs for the average person it seems. Because I doubt there going to make more Fabs to meat the demand.

    Bogus.
     
    Years ago the talk was about how memory wasn't even a profitable business due to low pricing now that pricing skyrockets they seemingly can't do anything except increase prices!

    Every 6 years there is some "accident" and prices go up until an investigation uncovers that they were lying and fixing prices in secret meetings among themselves.
