My guess it's simply no. People cope saying "when bitcoin becomes worthless then the prices are gonna go back to normal because it's not gonna be profitable anymore" but they ignore that if it's not bitcoin, another crypto will take its place and mining will be profitable so miners will keep buying a lot of high end GPUs and prices will never go down. The only possibility is that the whole crypto bubble bursts (not gonna happen) or that governments start taxing miners or regulating the sector so some people will desist, this is more realistic but still it would take years and miners would go to countries without regulation.
I remember 5 years ago when I built my PC and components were still affordable (I got an R9 380 for a bit more than 200€, try finding a good GPU for that price now) so buying a pre-built PC was a waste of money, but now it seems like a much better option than paying for overpriced GPUs that cost more than some really good pre-built PCs. I never cared about graphics too much anyway, if I can play in ultra great but if I have to play in medium no big deal, The Witcher 3 still looked great on medium with the R9 380 kek.
