Buying a PC for 2025?
Now is the time to lock in pricing.
Component costs have already moved sharply since September. RAM pricing is now roughly
3–4× September levels and is still expected to keep rising through 2026.
SSD pricing is now at least double and tracking toward around 3× September levels.
Graphics cards are now the next category starting to increase.

To help protect customers through the Christmas period, we are absorbing part of these increases, using our older RAM, SSD, and GPU stockpiles, while taking a hit on margin
to keep pricing as competitive as possible until 1st of January. As we move into January, prices will rise as significantly
higher-cost stock flows in.
If you are on the fence, buying now while we still have lower cost-basis stock is the safest move. Once those quantities are
sold through, pricing will jump.
