MSI raising PC prices up to 30% as memory crisis drags on

If you’re trying to find gaming hardware on a budget in 2026…maybe just dig in your backyard for gold or oil, you’ll be more likely to find it. According to recent statements from an MSI general manager, the company is raising prices on its gaming hardware by 15-30 percent.

Said manager is Huang Jinquing, quoted by the United Daily News of Taiwan (and machine translated). The company is responding to “the increase in memory prices” and corresponding increases in graphics card prices, which rely heavily on memory modules.
