If you’re planning on building a gaming PC, but have been holding off in hopes of price drops, it may be time to reconsider. An import tariff relief scheme put in place by the US government is set to come to an end. This could result in graphics card prices increasing by 25% if they’re imported from or assembled in China, and the same applies to motherboard and PC case prices.
The Trump administration initially implemented the import tariffs in question, and they could make some of the best graphics cards and other PC games hardware more expensive if they’re reinstated. After a period of feedback, these tariffs look set to return ahead of the next presidential election.
