GPUs like the RTX 5070 have stabilized around $600 for mid-range 1440p/4K gaming. OLED monitors have dropped significantly, with 27" 1440p 240Hz displays now available for $350-$450. NVMe SSD prices have doubled but remain accessible, with 1TB Gen4 drives around $180 — and waiting may lead to worse prices. DDR5 RAM and full platform upgrades remain expensive and are best deferred. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
