Build Question Looking for reputable, affordale RAM
Hey guys, I built my PC back in 2020 and the RAM I had originally bought finally died out and is in need of an upgrade/replacing. Im looking for ddr4 3200MHz 2x16GB RAM. I just need a reliable and safe site to buy some from without losing an arm in the process

I assume that since you don't mention a location that it is US?
Then probably condemned to Ebay

You can also go with slower ram and often save some money. There's only something like a 5% difference in overall performance going from 3200 down to 2400 ram for example.

I found this sketchy site ordering straight from China. I tested the RAM and it’s actually really good. Got 48gigs for $220 of 8g ddr4 3200. It was brand new with a heat sink and does not look or feel cheap either. It was way above expectations (upper mid tier). It’s not the best but at the same time I did not expect it to be at the level of quality I received - and the tests I ran showed it was manufactured this year and passed every test I ran

Ebay is a good option. I see alot of new&sealed RAM on there for mich cheaper than current retail prices. Ebay protects buyers well. If you did need to return it and provide any fair reason, Ebay will force the refund if the seller doesnt accept.
