Just wondering as computers are sorta my hobby and i like messing around with different ones. I havent in a while due to prices going up such as with ram usually. I dont mess with new tech, but i want to know what you guys do with the crazy prices out there? or are you already set before prices went up? Or are you just lucky in some form?

Just curious.

    I pivoted to peripherals. My mouse, for example, has exactly 4 original parts left, everything but the shell, PCB, and side button switches are aftermarket. My headset has aftermarket cushions, and EQ profiles for specific genres of games and music. I’ve started learning about CPU and RAM clocks. Basically, modify/tune what you have, don’t buy new stuff.
