Is there a worse time to be building a PC? I thought I could do a lot better for $700, but all I can get is overpriced shit

Back in the 90's when if you were lower middle class, all you could afford was an OEM shitbox full of the cheapest crap imaginable.

Fuck knows what the prices are gonna be like at the end of the year. Best we can hope for are "sales" that are at the prices they are at the moment.
