My CostCo is selling a gaming PC for $1,300, with 64gb of DDR5 and a RTX 5060. If that is a decent deal, go pick one up before the oil shocks start to really hit.
I like to go to the nearby shop and pay the guy to put one together for me. I don’t know nearly enough to keep up with the industry, so I’ll defer to expertise.
I always go for a custom build myself. Got a Thor NAS chassis, I am just waiting for de-dollarization and the AI bubble to pop, so that I can use my Euros to build a top-shelf PC. Debating whether to pick up the motherboard now, since that is more unique component that can potentially stop being available. A Threadripper CPU and the RAM would be more generic.

Depends on other things as well. It could be a decent deal but a pre built PC rarely is, even pre covid.

Honestly I might go for that Costco deal just for the RAM.
