I usually don't consider Corsair products "overpriced."  I think Corsair makes high quality products that are above the products of many other companies, making it a premium product.  Hence, you're paying a premium price.  And the prices aren't crazy premium either.

5 most overpriced product in my opinion : 

 

5. Iphone 5

4. Ipad

3. Mac Book

2. Mac pro

1. Beats headphones

 

what about you guys?

I think you are hating on Apple a little bit. 

 

I have an iPhone and a Mac, but I think they are well worth the price. The build quality is above standard and I like them personally. 

 

But Beats? Gross! Beats are turds surrounded by great marketing.

1. Apple, only reason I can see that someone would get an iPhone is if they are old and or dont know how to use the amazing features provided by Android,

2. Beats, only thing going for them is the looks, nuff said.

3. Intel, I think they found out that there chips were pretty good when AMD were off the rails and just bumped the price up

4. Intel based motherboards, compared to the quality of a cheap motherboard for AMD cpu's they make Intel motherboards look like a ripoff.

5. Corsair Dominator ram, feel like there doing a bit of an Apple move, makes them look nice and charges more.

1. Android fanboy who has obviously never used an iPhone before

2. beats suck....yeah

3. Intel still kicks the crap out of AMD in just about everything (except price)

4. AMD fanboy lolololololololol

5. Pay for performance, Dominator Platinums come pre-overclocked and binned. They are worth the money if you have it. Sure, it is a waste for an AMD system.

Apologies for having a solid opinion, yes AMD fanboy, umad? + you going to respond to everyone who said Apple were overpriced as well? You'll be here a while.

1 - Nvidia  :D

CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU

Actually the no.1 overpriced product in all of the world : bottled water , i mean the cost of making transporting and everything is like €0.01 or something per liter and they sell it for sometimes €2.00 per liter , this should be crime!

Wanted to mention GTX Titan, 1000$, you could get a 690/7990 with much more performance for the same money.

Oh, and also all products of any kind from Brazil (Gas here is 51% taxes [damn corrupt politicians!])

PC: 5600x @ 4.85GHz // RTX 3080 Eagle OC // 16GB Trident Z Neo  // Corsair RM750X // MSI B550M Mortar Wi-Fi // Noctua NH-D15S // Cooler Master NR400 // Samsung 50QN90A // Logitech G305 // Corsair K65 // Corsair Virtuoso //
