I'm interested in building a gaming PC but there has never been a worse time to do that. I really want to though.

It'll literally only get worse. AI has destroyed consumer prices

I want to be able to do the same by the end of this year. I might have to drastically cut my grocery expenses to do so.

It won't get worse. The price increases have already slowed. They're building new factories to meet demand, but it just takes time. They're saying that by late 2027 we should expect to see prices going down, and then in 2028 we should be able to get to a new baseline.

Demand for datacenter crap and HBM lol, not computers that are actually useful for a consumer.
