Title pretty much sums it up.  I stumbled upon a great deal for the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3200 MHz 2x8GB Ram Kit for 70 Euros each. So in total 140 Euros for 4 kits and 32 GB of Ram. Might as well invest in it with prices this low? Im only gaming, no video editing so i know its overkill but to future proof myself i thought it might actually be a good investement?

 

What do you guys think?

Faster is going to be better in gaming for a 9700k. I guess it depends on what speed and capacity memory you have right now if it would be worth it.

I think the cheapest 3200MHZ CL16 kit is only a little cheaper than 70 bucks, so that is indeed a good deal

What do you guys think?

SHort answer: Yes.

 

Look at your RAM usage, for the price I'd just go ahead.  I advocate 32GB for lazy gamers, who don't close their tabs and other programs when playing ;)

That's what they almost always say. I doubt it with DDR5 already standing at the corner.

Well they nailed the price increase to $200+ for a 16GB kit a couple years ago, so they aren't always wrong :)

 

DDR4 will most likely creep up with the release of DDR5, similar to how prior versions of DDR rose when the new hotness came out.  Not bad to 2017 levels but I think we're at a realistic low point.

 

I bought 16GB of DDR4 3200 for $179 and then $129 last year.    By all means, by that shit now.
