I went to a pc building shop and the price of 64 RAM DDR5 was over $1000. I could have built an entire PC with that price a year ago.

Best advice is grab an AM4 motherboard and go for DD4 ram. You wont notice a difference in performance for majority of games. DDR4 ram and AM4 cpu’s are cheap.
Way too late
Dont wait too long, retailers are catching on and increasing prices.
2nd hand its still cheap
DDR4 RAM is presently cheaper than DDR5, but it has also increased dramatically in price recently.

So happy I bought a m.2 for my laptop right before this insanity. Wonder if spinning plates are coming back to the menu?
AMD’s legacy Ryzen 7 5800X3D chips now sell for up to $800, more than a new 9800X3D — AM4 chip costs twice as much as MSRP, as enthusiasts flock to old DDR4 memory
Yeah but who needs a 5800X3D? a 5500 or 5600x will be fine for most. If you can afford to get a 5800x3d dont worry about the price and just buy it money clearly aint an issue.
Lol what?? 5800X3D was like $250 when I bought mine. I wouldn’t say it was cheap but its defintely not a “money is no issue” kind of number.
Edit: alright rereading your comment, you were probably talking about people who want to buy a 5800X3D right now with today’s price, and not just anyone who was ever in the market for 5800X3D-level CPUs
As soon as I saw the prices of ram shoot up a couple weeks ago I started looking into am4 chips and so did everyone else I guess lol. Now I don’t even see the 5800/5700x3d for sale at all in my local used market.
