It's a great time for that RAM upgrade you've always been thinking about
pcgamer.comPC gaming has not been at its most affordable for a very long time, though primarily that's been down to the inflated GPU market over these past few years. There are actually heaps of components required for a functional gaming PC that are cheaper than they've ever been today. Most notably, sticks of DDR4 RAM.
A couple of sticks of speedy, high-capacity RAM would have once set you back a couple of hundred dollars, but that price has been dropping steadily for a few years. You can pick up a kit of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro dual-channel RAM with 32GB capacity and rated to 3,600MHz (effective) for $115(opens in new tab).

And if you don't care about flashy lighting or heat spreaders, there's some regular Corsair Vengeance LPX with the same capacity and specs for $100. Or slightly slower (but lower latency) G.Skill Ripjaws V Series sticks for $90(opens in new tab).
$90!
Alright, I'll stop exclaiming on the page quite so much, but you get the idea. I'd almost forgotten that PC gaming would offer such impressive deals over the course of the previous few years, but RAM really is at a turning point in terms of pricing.
