Graphics card price?
I've been wanting to try to build my own gaming PC but all the graphics cards I see are crazy expensive. Is that normal?

Essentially a graphics card is a mini computer on its own. It has a GPU a special computer chip that can do graphic calculations very quickly (side note some supercomputers researchers use for huge calculations are just banks and banks of those GPUs tied together). It also will have a large chunk of memory. It'll need a heatsink too. So all that together will make it expensive.
