Me went to buy parts to upgrade my pc... Wahz mainboard so expensive now...

Back then many year ago, around sgd 300 (rm 1k) can get very good ones... Normal ones are 200+ (rm800-900)... Cheaper ones even below that...

Now a z790 need sgd 400-500... Even more expnesive than cpu... Good thing is ram and SSD coming down.... Now ddr5 32gb even cheaper than back than ddr4 16gb.... Haha... SSD 1tb even cheaper than back then 500gb... Lol.... Psu expensive now.. amd saw the 7800x3d but too expensive. So try out Intel. Me been using amd for many years already. My was Intel CPU was a 6600k.....

When people are willing to pay inflated prices for the new technology, manufacturers charge accordingly.

It is also an endorsement that poorly performing products - as long as they are new - are going to have better sales.

Anyone who buys a DDR5 system nowadays thinking startup will be faster is just an idiot, because both new AMD and Intel systems are much slower in this regard than the older platforms.

that price range for that capacity already enthusiast level already for ddr4, if it didn't come with a tight timing then that's a scam

Your normal now is high end to others like me.

I use 7800x3d and normal b board.

Good enough for most consumer.

Z if you need the extra ports or features or oc.

Have fun though selecting components.

Headache for me with small budgets.
