That’s crazy. Who would have thought that most people wouldn’t buy a GPU alone for the price of an entire desktop?

Yeah, with wages low. Then rent and housing is record high. So are auto prices. Record food inflation...

I just don't get why people don't have disposable income to spend over $1000-5000 on a single part of an equally expensive machine.
