I bought my first stick of 8GB DDR4 ram for $55 and my second for an outrageous $69 (lowest it had been in months). Currently that exact same RAM is $89 but hit an all time high of $99 just a few months ago.
I bought my GTX1060 for $190, it is currently $440 on Amazon.
Basically I would need to pay double the amount of money to purchase those three items today.
I, personally, would not pay those current prices and would have sat on my i5-2500k, DDR3 RAM, GTX 760 build rather then upgrade over the past spring/summer. If need be I would also look into getting a console if I felt the PC build no longer was working out for me to play the games I want to play. I figure there are many people with older gaming PCs that feel the same way.
Now I expect prices to fall but let's play devils advocate and wonder what happens if they take years to fall?
How do you feel the gaming industry will re-act with high prices preventing many people from upgrading? Do you see less AAA titles coming out on the PC? Will developers sand bag graphic performance in order for older video cards to play games at very high levels? A renaissance of small & indie developers similar to Larian Studios, Obsidian, and Pubg creating more PC games?
