It's so nice that we can build PCs again. In 2021 I moved across the pond for work and couldn't bring my old PC with me. I wanted to build a new one, but it was impossible due to GPU shortage. I had to buy a garbage premade PC by Dell, because it had 3060 card and was cheaper than buying standalone 3060 card.
That GPU shortage absolutely blew. I used a 1650 the whole time, just sitting on my hands waiting for something to be vaguely affordable. Ended up snagging an RX 6600 right at the very very end of the shortage- caught it on a steep sale and paid $220 for it, and my exact model is $200 now so I did pretty good I think lol
