i'd be lucky if I'd be able to make back 1/3 of that by selling off my current am4 stuff...

@devious I'm just looking around mainly. It would be nice to have more m.2 slots for ssds though.

@mikoto oh yeah forgot about the ram. Yeah price seems right from what I know about prices. But spending that amount only on these 3 things where you would get a neat PC for that in earlier days seems kinda wrong...

@stefan yeah it's still insane how much cheaper the ddr4 stuff is compared to ddr5. Like a 64 GB kit is ~$150 CAD for ddr4, but 50-100 more for DDR5.

The "sweet spot" motherboards have gotten close to around how much I paid for my AM4 board a while back though so there's that.
