The component list is a useful snapshot of how elevated memory and storage pricing is affecting mainstream PC builds. The article includes a 32GB DDR4-3600 kit from Silicon Power at $198 and a Silicon Power 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD at $164.79, while the system budget is held down by discounts on other parts.
