The real problem is that there's literally zero competition on the desktop CPU market. I just checked and an i7 6700k is 375 at my Amazon branch. The 5820k is 409. Yikes!. And it isn't much better with graphic cards, Nvidia can charge as much as they want and they do it,a 970 is 350
At this rate building a decent rig will be prohibitively expensive again as it was in 2000.
6700k price is inflated due to lack of stock, and possibly lack of demand too. Retailers feel they need to cash in fast, otherwise a new CPU will be released and itll be gameover for the Motherboard sales too.
