Question for the knowledgeable folks: Is this a good time to build a PC?

I was talking to a friend and she said, "This is the lowest they'll be for a long time ahead so you might as well bite the bullet."

@pheonix You can do with 16GB of RAM and a system SSD of ~512GB and upgrade later. The rest is fine (unless you want to do AI with it obviously...)

@ftranschel Very good point, I don't even need a dedicated GPU, just an upgrade over my decade old machine. The integrated graphics of a modern CPU fits well for my use-cases.

Now that you say it, getting a motherboard that can easily be upgraded in the future is a safe bet. Incremental changes. Thank you! ✨🙏
