2:33:30I do everything on a 15 year old mac pro and current prices are convincing me that that's not changing anytime soon
2:33:33that got be 2TB only a year ago
2:33:51ai datacenters got us messed up
2:34:05if you have ddr4 right now you could maybe get a 5800x3d / mobo and just use the ram you got
2:34:08Que vuela esa madre o porque tan cara
2:34:14I can barely afford my rend, I ain't buying a new computer in this climate
2:34:18i bought 64gb of ddr5 for 900 and that was considered the "midtier"
2:34:19I got 32GB DDR5 6000MHz for $100 even late 2024
2:34:23the ram i bought a few years ago is literally double now, its insane
2:34:25You can find decent deals on cpus that are like 1 or 2 gens old
2:34:28@phimadethis yoooo cheesegrater mac gang
2:34:31i got 64 gb for like 150 a couple of years ago same with ssds
2:34:48I'm happy with just basic gaming, streaming, software development. I don't need to play games on ultra 4k super HD graphics with 200 fps and have 100 Chrome tabs open at the same time :face-blue-smiling:
2:34:548GB DDR4 cost 100 bucks for me
2:35:00I think that even if you drop 20k, you will not get as good of a build as you a few years ago
2:35:04for a decent ryzen or intel you're looking at like 300-500 bucks
2:35:05and this is just to run something like vrchat? maybe I'll just go for a laptop...
2:35:2432 would be the lowest i'd go
2:35:26It's probably more than you need, but normal
