Thanks to memory manufacturers overestimating demand for Windows Vista, and the cutthroat competition between AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA going on right now, end users are enjoying bargain basement pricing on several system components: quad-core CPUs from Intel are currently starting right around $220, while 2GB DDR2 RAM kits are going for less than $50, and potent mainstream GPUs like the GeForce 9600 GT selling for under $150. With such low prices, gamers and hardware enthusiasts on a budget can now build a pretty powerful gaming system without having to spend a lot of money.
