  1. A problem right now is that graphic card prices has gone up without really giving us much more performance at any given price point. Of course the performance is going up, but unlike before so is the prices. Add to that the timing. New motherboards for AM5 requiring new memory (DDR5), both really expensive at the moment. Add to that the inflation, especially in energy costs. Meaning that peoples purchasing power is going down. I'm on a R7 1700 + RX 480, I'm planning on buying a R7 5800X3D and a new GPU in the 4-500 USD range when the value proposition at that price point becomes better and my commitments to help friends that's struggling economically are done. AM5 and DDR5 is just too expensive a investment for me for several years to come. I wish that AMD sold GPUs like the R7 290X back in the day with great compute as well as good gaming performance. The 290X and 390X are still amazing for double precision floating point performance for their price, and so is the cut down versions. Honestly in terms of raw hardware you're actually getting a much better deal from Intel on the GPU side. But their software is really letting down their hardware failing to give us a good experience and good performance in the older gaming titles that people still play. I might buy a AMD and a Intel GPU just to support Intel a bit here. But only once my friend is back on her feet again.

  2.  @TickerSymbolYOU  Yep, while we're increasingly reliant on technology desktop PCs still remains a luxury product. Although they're getting a bit on the expensive side, and the market would grow significantly if prices where cut.
