Affordable PCs are becoming unreachable: component prices surge sharply

The price hikes affect not only processors and graphics cards but also SSDs and RAM, increasingly complicating the assembly of budget gaming PCs. Due to shortages, building a configuration within 35-40 thousand hryvnias may soon be practically impossible.
This signals a worsening issue across the computer components market, putting pressure on consumers and forcing them to seek alternative options or postpone hardware upgrades.
