Title says it all, 16GB's of RAM is only 90$! When I built my PC 1 1/2 years ago 8GB's of ram was 85$. Also a 250GB SSD is only 90$, when I got my first 120GB SSD three years ago it was 110$! I'm so excited with all these prices dropping, I can hear my wallet calling my name!

Ram has dropped A LOT recently, both ddr3 and ddr4

muh specs

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

It's really nice, it's getting closer to that 2012 price of ram.

I wish it was like this in Australia!

$85 = cheapest 8GB dual channel Ram is 1333MHz @ PCCaseGear

$89 = average 8GB dual channel Ram is 1600MHz @ PCCaseGear

Would it be worth it to see if you can have someone stateside buy it and ship it over?

Everything in Australia is expensive.

I would have to buy everything from US or UK, but the postage, that would be expensive and take a long time to arrive!

I remember when 16GB of RAM use to be $150... So glad it's gone back down now.

 

And good thing I got mine before the price hike, because mine was only $50 new.
