Why is so expensive to build a decent PC nowadays?

Hello everyone. Im from South America, where you know, suffer inflation and all that. The thing is, that components for a nice pc were not that expensive to buy as it is now. Its crazy. I wish it was like USA or any first world country. Any new rtx 5xxx is +$1500 here, like three times of the original price. I know its not free to import stuff but it shouldnt be that expensive! I always loved playing on pc, but the one I have is already old, and I cant play any recent game the way id like to. Im even considering to buy a console, $1000 and thats it. Building a fresh pc today would cost me more than $3000. How much does a regular person spend to buy a nice setup today on the US or europe? I've saving for more than two years but there is always urgent that take away my money and well, I guess thats it. I surrender, I wont ever be able to have a good setup to play gsmes like Alan Wake II or the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows, my favorite saga 😭
