I see SSDs have risen about 40% in price over the course of the year :-(. So much for getting SSDs vs mechanical now.

That is rough, I just started building a system, after too many years with the same old laptop. :(

Anyone used Klevv memory (the one Evetech sells)?

Looking at an upgrade kit but not sure whether it's decent or if I should rather try get some Corsairs.

Looking at a 3600 bundle.

Which klevvs you looking at?

There are basically 3 major ram manufacturers Micron (which corsair uses a lot), Samsung & Hynix (klevv used these not sure if they still do).

They've actually been around since the early 80s under the Hyundai brand name, they're a massive semiconductor company (top3). When one hears the Hyundai name you think cars which only came much later.

But I don't think we got them in the 90s though? As I only saw my first stick late 90s? Before that it was Samsung and Micron.

Well seems like Wootware is having a field day with their pricing. Yesterday's price of the Radeon RX 5700 XT was R9099... today around 5pm it was R9299... and now at 22h45 it's R9499.

So the same build that cost me R5400 two weeks ago is now R5977.
