Hmmm, no? If you're building one it's gonna be cheaper. 2k is a lot more than most people would need.

I wonder if I could sell my Graphics card for a profit.

That would be hilarious, considering I got my graphics card strictly using the profit of my used oculus dev kit I sold for $800. (I got that for $300)

That would be even funnier considering I'd dump all that money profit into investments. (And a better graphics card a year from now), and funniest considering this all came from my literal first paycheck.

Roughly, yes.

It has to do with how out of control the graphics card prices are right now.

I don't get your sense of humor.

That was true until bitcoin miners ruined PC gaming.

nononononono, you're doing it wrong

It's either you build a computer for about $2k, or you buy a pre-built for $700. Never buy a prebuilt if it's not on sale

At the price rates for memory (high for who knows what reason) and graphics cards (cryptocurrency fever) are being sold, prebuilts are becoming a realistic choice. Even with the introduction of cheaper graphics cards specifically made for mining, miners go for conventional because they factor in reselling it as part of their ROI.

2018 is not a good year for building your PCs.

We're surrounding you. We see you, but you probably don't see us. And if you see us, we're not letting on that we see you.

Memory is in a broader range of consumer products these days than before. Prices shoot up every time they go to put out a new phone (obviously), but everything from smart appliances to some higher end children's toys have an amount of memory in them.
