I feel we need to talk Ram prices

10% Tariff 15% more added after January 1st 2019 25% in total

I feel soon most people won't be able to even build a PC they're making each part $500-1000 Minimum

Anybody looking to buy a new Nvidia 2080ti that wants to sell me their 1080ti, just let me know. My 11 year old wants to upgrade his 1060 because he plays Fortnite and streams and his frame rates are dropping a bit. I don't want to pay full price for the 1080ti.

Hi,
Used market will likely go up in value just like the mining craze did for it

My boss was one of the lucky few who won a 8086K from Intel. He asked me to spec a machine out for him and this is my thoughts. It's going to be a workstation/VM machine and he is not a gamer so I just put in a decent graphics card with compute power. Thoughts?

Bosss Saved Part List - Radeon RX 580 8GB PULSE, Meshify C Dark TG ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker

If not for gaming you could skimp on GPU but it's his money.
