    There’s never going to be a time in my life where I will be able to afford even a modest gaming computer :(

      sure there is.

      steal it.

      order ddr5 ram. return ddr3 ram as ddr5 and tell them it was opened and the wrong thing.

      it’s no different than what AI fascists are doing right now.

      Pre-built machines are still going for reasonable prices but once those companies run out of old stock that’ll be done for. If you’ve got a Costco membership they have some IBuyPower PCs for a pretty reasonable price. I got a ryzen 7, RTX5070 and 32GB of ddr5 for $1600. They have an Intel ultra 5, RTX5060, and 32GB ddr5 for $1,099.
