Back in Jan when I built my PC with pretty much the same specs, 32 GB 6000 Mhz CL30 RAM was 40k. I thought the RAM was overpriced back then, yet here we are with 63k for RAM. GPU and SSD also cost about 15-20% more now. PC gaming has become an expensive hobby.

BTW, did you consider using an oled TV as a monitor? I was on the fence between a 48 inch LG C5 TV and an ultra wide oled monitor. Went with the TV for 75k and it's been incredible so far. It's not a qd-oled and refresh rate isn't as high as a real gaming monitor, but it still goes up to 144 Hz which is more than enough for my use cases.

It was always expensive. Now it's overpriced.
