Hey all. RAM prices are absolutely sky high right now. Does anyone know if they will drop at some point? Otherwise, I'll just bite the bullet and buy now, as it is in an ever increasing trend.

Everyone on here be showing off their rigs, so here I go:

What were prices before the hike? When did the hike take place? I'm just now putting a build together and the cost of DDR4 didn't quite feel right to me.

Well if your building now, you really dont have a choice but to pay the going rate. Sales will bring the price down some, but not much. 

Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Corsair H105, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite, Corsair Vengeance 32GB 3600MHz, EVGA RTX 3070Ti FTW3, Samsung 850 Pro / WD SN850 / OCZ Trion 150

Yea, I'm just going to buy the kit now. Ebay isn't much cheaper either, and it requires more effort.

Everyone on here be showing off their rigs, so here I go:
