To me, the price increase is not surprising. Things like beefier power delivery and PCI-E 5.0 itself will bump up prices, assuming everything remains constant. And with components cost also increasing due to the "shortage" (heck even there is a card board shortage), the manufacturers will surely bump prices up to try and maintain their margin.

Actually looks like performance with DDR4 is still very good. This makes the upgrades much more viable for DIY. And this is just with DDR4-3200.
