I built a computer December 2024 with a Ryzen 9900X, 64GB DDR5, 1TB + 4TB SSDs, 4060. If I were to buy the exact same parts now, nearly 1 year later, it would cost about $1,000 more for the exact same components. The memory alone went from $189 to $505. I'm not sure how much of that is from tariffs and how much is due to AI datacenter demand, but that is a massive increase.
