I just want to ask here, maybe this is not the right place to do so but hear me please.

I just want to know if there is any RAM, CPU or any PC parts shortage right now because the parts are getting so much pricy! Just 2 weeks past from my previous quotation then the price went above +30% . And if by chance you live in the Philippines, please let me also know.

Thanks!

Short answer: Yes!
* There's a huge demand for DDR4 and SSD memory for smartphones, so less reach the computer market.
* Cryptocurrency mining is high, so there's a high demand for mid-range graphics cards.
* Intel Kaby Lake Pentiums are also in high demand, especially the G4560.
