I am so glad I built my PC back in April. My 2x16gb DDR5 sticks cost $105 all in then, now it’s $480 on amazon. That is ridiculous!

I'm also glad I overbought RAM when I did my last PC upgrade in January, because who knows when I'll be able to do that again.

The 96GB kit I bought (which was more than I needed) was $165. I ended up buying another 96GB kit in June when I saw the price went up to $180 to max out my machine, even though I didn't really need it, but I was concerned where prices were going.

That same kit was $600 a month ago, and is $930 today. The entire rest of the computer didn't cost that much

		Yeah I do regret not going 64GB when it was so cheap but honestly? 32 has been fine. I had already pushed the budget to future-proof critical things (mobo, PSU, CPU, etc.) and ram hopefully one day will drop to sane prices again. I doubt I'll feel the strain for 3-5 years if at all. It's mainly a gaming rig right now
