Well this "RAM shortage" is the real problem here. RAM never cost this much in the past and I still think it's a made up shortage. I personally think that the crypto miners bought all the GPUs up and RAM makers used that as an excuse to upcharge on RAM even though miners don't use that much RAM to begin with.

It's just a bad time to build a rig, even trying to buy a 1080 used, people are selling them at such a high price.

But in the end it all comes down to the persons preference in games. Your build here would be perfect for all the games I play.
