I've been collecting computer parts to build my own PC during the summer of 2026. However, with prices going up and shortages happening, I'm torn between selling the few components I have (a case, some fans, and a power supply) to buy a prebuilt system or holding onto my parts until I can create my dream setup. My main concern is that a prebuilt wouldn't allow me the customization I really want. What do you think is the best move here? Should I keep saving or sell what I have for a prebuilt?

It sounds like this is more of a want than a necessity. If you can wait a bit longer, it might pay off, especially considering how RAM prices have fluctuated in the past, like during the GPU mining boom. Just think about how much the market could shift in that time!
I'd recommend holding onto your parts for now. Since your build is planned for summer 2026, it might be better to avoid jumping into buying volatile parts like the GPU, CPU, and RAM just yet. Consider putting that money in a high-yield savings account or setting up a PC fund. By 2026, new hardware releases could potentially lower prices on the components you're interested in. Hope that helps!
