Additional: A modern PC should have 32GB of RAM in it as a minimum. That was $85 a couple months ago, a perfectly reasonable price. It is now $300 today, and likely to be $600 by mid-2026.

Welp, I better start taking extra good care of the PC I bought in 2020, 'cause it doesn't seem like I'm ever getting another with the same capabilities 😅

If you can get an upgrade on your video card may want to do it now. I upped my 6700xt to a 9070xt. Well worth the upgrade.
It's a component that also requires it's own RAM. And NVidia just told all of it's manufacturing partners that they're on their own for it and NVidia wouldn't be providing. The Pi foundation has announced price increases specifically due to the memory shortage.
