"On Wednesday, CyberPowerPC announced that it plans to adjust the pricing across all of its systems on December 7th, as reported earlier by PCMag. "Recently, global memory (RAM) prices have surged by 500% and SSD prices have risen by 100%," CyberPowerPC says in a statement posted on X. "This has had a direct impact on the cost of building gaming PCs since 10/1/25.""
""I anticipate that the prices will continue to rise and then we will eventually have to increase our lead times as stock and allocation becomes constrained, but we are in constant communication with our vendors and will delay these increases for as long as we possibly can," Maingear CEO Wallace Santos tells Wccftech. The price of RAM has fluctuated greatly over the past month as AI companies buy up more RAM and data storage for their sprawling data centers."
"Maingear CEO Wallace Santos tells Wccftech that customers might want to start "shopping now" if they need a memory or storage upgrade. Though this may seem like another way to boost sales for Black Friday, Santos appears to be genuinely warning of an increased shortage, and says the PCs he's selling this Black Friday have been "sheltered from these price increases.""
RAM prices have surged sharply, with some reports citing a 500% increase and SSDs rising about 100%, driving up PC build costs. CyberPowerPC will adjust pricing across all systems on December 7th in response to higher component costs. Maingear is postponing price hikes and plans to work with vendors to delay increases, warning customers to consider buying memory or storage now due to tightening allocations. AI companies increasing RAM and storage purchases have contributed to recent volatility. Other custom builders, including Skytech Gaming, are also reporting impacts from rising RAM prices.
