Same. I actually built my first computer a year before prices went super saiyan but it sounds like you got an even better deal. My system is:

• Intel 14100 - $98
• 2×16 DDR4 Corsair 3200 - $57
• Asrock B660 - $98
• Corsair 80+ bronze PSU - $70
• 500GB Crucial SSD - $37
• Seagate 28TB HHD - $368

So $728 plus a cheapo case. Today it would be $1171 just casually picking the same parts from eBay, Amazon, and Newegg. That’s a 160% jump.

OP just posting to show off their 64gigs of RAM, 1TB boot SSD, and 26TB of platter storage.

Fishy how? As in a state-level backdooring like was the case with XZ and Jia Tan or are you weary of something else?
