Bride & groom gifted high-end PC parts as prices soar amid shortages

A wedding in Turkey became a social media sensation when the couple received unusual gifts: computer parts like RAM, a graphics card, and a processor – everything needed to build a powerful gaming PC.

Rather than bringing typical gifts such as jewelry or household items, two guests surprised everyone by bringing parts used to build a powerful gaming computer.

The celebration truly began when someone presented the groom with a GeForce RTX 5090, decorated with red ribbons, and playfully put it around his neck.

The groom also gave his bride a fantastic gift: a high-performance quad-channel DDR5 RAM kit, beautifully presented with ribbons, as Tom’s Hardware noted.

Newlyweds go viral for receiving high-end PC parts as gifts

Okay, so as a huge PC enthusiast, I’ve been checking out the new GeForce RTX 5090, and honestly, the prices are a little shocking. Right now, on Nvidia’s website, most models are ranging from $2,900 to $3,800. And that’s before you even get to the resellers who are probably going to add even more to the cost. It’s definitely a premium card!

Adding the expensive DDR5 memory kit – all four sticks that the bride received – makes the total cost add up fast. However, that’s not the complete picture.

Someone then gave them an Intel Core Ultra processor. By that point, they were very close to having all the components needed for their ideal PC build – they were just missing a few parts.

The bride and groom were obviously overjoyed. It wasn’t a lavish gift, but you couldn’t fault their happiness.

Recently, the cost of computer parts like RAM has been increasing. This is because there aren’t enough available, and the growing popularity of artificial intelligence is driving up prices. This price increase isn’t limited to desktop computers anymore; it’s affecting other devices as well.

The Steam Deck recently sold out in many places, showing how high demand can quickly outstrip supply. Nintendo is also being cautious about how much the new Switch 2 will cost, because the price of memory chips is going up.

It’s easy to understand why commenters described the person giving the gift as a true friend or even a ‘blood brother.’
