7k is actually kind of easy to hit nowadays. Hell, my water cooling loop for the PC I build for myself in 2019 cost $800 bucks and I wan't even going all out. Prices have only gone up since then. Tack on a $3000 video card and other top of the line parts, and you can hit 7k pretty quick.In fact, if you haven't been in the loop, RAM prices have tripled in the past 3 months thanks to AI datacenter demand gobbling it all up. So that RAM that was 200 bucks in July is now 600 bucks.
