Thinking about upgrading my hardware. It's 6 years old now (with the exception of a graphic card and storage) which I don't think is totally outdated but I have 800+ hours on #citiesskylines now, my needs have changed and I really would appreciate more power so I can build bigger cities and still enjoy it.
Well... maybe not. At least not now? The same 32 GB DDR4 RAM my partner bought almost 2 years ago is ~200€ more now and the prices are pretty crazy?!

Yeah RAM and GPUs are pricey since some time.
@sandzwerg a big meeh :( I hope it will get cheaper during the next year? I will wait I guess...
@Virelai
RAM is always in a cycle between overproduction and underproduction and corresponding prices. Right now we are in the underproduction phase. Depending on your use case you could do with 16 gig and add 16 more later if needed. Smaller modules are also cheaper than bigger ones.
GPUs are so expensive because crypto miners bought so much of them. I'd expect prices to be on the higher end for a while. Maybe you can find cheap 2nd hand in eBay with all the (dis) advantages
@sandzwerg thank you for your input :)
