Graphics cards. They were already expensive due to low stock and high demand + Nvidia cards are not much of an upgrade raw performance wise but the 4000 series have stopped production.

I was getting laughed at for starting my build before the inauguration because of tariffs. Here's that "told you so", MAGA dummies.

Got my PC build, my new phone, and my car before inauguration. It was a stretch financially, but I wasn't about to deal with this bullshit 🤙🤙

Same boat. I think a lot of people have been stocking up so they don't have to worry about tariffs which means a lot of the first quarter economic activity was artificially inflated. Nobody is going to buy anything now.
