Summer of crisis and heat. Our sweaty pockets are feeling the increase in prices at all levels, and components will not be cheaper. Given the state of international affairs, now may not be such a bad time to buy anything, as we may be much worse off in a few months.

Asus motherboard, Samsung SSD, Corsair PSU with gold energy efficiency, and a nice Corsair box This time, the RTX 3080 graphics card is available for nearly the recommended retail price. In total, I spent just over 2000 euros.
