I’m kicking myself so hard right now. I went in and upgraded my PC when word of tarrifs were coming back in 2024 but decided to chill on ram because the prices were still low and I felt I had enough. I have 16gb of DDR5 and my rig feels like it’s chugging with newer software.
I should’ve bit the bullet and future proofed with a 64gb set up. My ass decided to buy a house instead 😮💨
Dude 2 years ago I built my first PC in a minute and last year built one for wifey (was running a rx580, ddr3 ram and fx6300 that I was milking as long as I could, built my rig and wife used that one till she had me build a better one on ddr4 ram ryzen 5 and pcie 4.0 mobo etc) and didn’t think it was a great time to build because of prices being all over but now I’m just glad I didn’t wait any longer!
This is crazy because I bought 64 gb ram for like 130 in July of 2025.
Now it’s 530 for the same exact brand.

Yeah same! A year ago it was $120 for a 64GB kit of ddr4-4000. Now my same kit just broke the $800 barrier.
