Nice to see that RAM prices are finally coming down.

Less. I bought a Samsung Evo 860 1TB for $128 during Black Friday, but there are alternatives under $140 even today at respectable sellers such as NewEgg:

Really impressive results, with several gumstick m.2 SSDs around $150.

I paid $75 for a 60 GB SSD about 7 years ago. The price really has dropped.

These prices are darn good. I remember purchasing my first hard drive in the late 1980's... It was about a foot square and several inches high, cost me $1200, and had a remarkable 80 megabytes of storage. I recall thinking at the time, "How on earth will I ever use 80 megs of storage?" I just wish prices for everything else paralleled prices found with a lot of electronics.
