RAM Prices

For the past couple of months DDR3 RAM prices have gone through the roof! What are the reasons for this? Will the prices go down anytime soon? It is putting me off building a new Haswell based system for gaming and some video rendering as the same Corsair Vengance 1600 MHz High Profile 2x4GB DIMMs I have in my current system I bought a year ago cost me around £35-40 and now cost £56-60. Are the manufacturers preparing for DDR4? I need a reason.

My PC specs; Processor: Intel i5 2500K @4.6GHz, Graphics card: Sapphire AMD R9 Nano 4GB DD Overclocked @1050MHz Core and 550 MHz Memory. Hard Drives: 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM, 2TB Western Digital Green Drive, Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V , Power Supply: OCZ ZS series 750W 80+ Bronze certified, Case: NZXT S340, Memory: Corsair Vengance series Ram, Dual Channel kit @ 1866 Mhz, 10-11-10-30 Timings, 4x4 GB DIMMs. Cooler: CoolerMaster Seidon 240V

We've already had the same thread topic a few days ago.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

I couldn't find it using the search tool, I had thought no one had created a topic regarding this, if I had knew I would not have bothered making it again.
