RAM prices these days are pretty high. Last RAM I "purchased"* was a set of G.Skill 2x 16GB DDR5 6000 sticks (32GB total) which was priced at $149 back in Jan 2023.
I see that, today, the same set of RAM is currently priced at $349 on NewEgg. (This is the result of memory makers globally prioritizing specialized AI-industry-focused RAM over PC-level DDR memory.)
It was a recent Digital Foundry video warning / urging people that now is the time to buy a new GPU, given the RAM pricing crisis that got me thinking about this.

( * Those RAM sticks were free for me, thanks to buying certain upgrade items for my gaming PC physically in-store at Micro Center at the time. I'm sure they wouldn't be free today...)
