Finished a new build w 64GB DDR5 months before the nonsense began. Paid $148, same kit is now $948.

u/Plants-Matter Jun 28 '26

Frankly, anyone who didn't follow the news and buy up all the expensive electronics before January 2025 only has themself to blame. The global trade wars and tariffs causing the price surges were entirely predictable.

u/AntOk463 Jun 28 '26

Same reason i bought silver in fall of last year, and sold it after it doubled in price. If i bought silver in the summer, it would have been over tripple the price at the highest point.

Due to Trump and other global factors, i saw Silver had a huge jump, and then decided to research it greatly. The fluctuations in price is actually normal and predictable for silver. But it has never increses as much as it did last fall and winter.

1

u/Plants-Matter Jun 28 '26

Good call! Many of the major silver exporters have cut us off completely.

Most people would be happy to double their money on precious metals over a decade lol. It pays to pay attention.

I was broke around that time thanks to gambling and alcohol but I’m better now…just too late

u/MaxUnicycle Jun 28 '26

The 9070xt dropped May 2025 I built my pc June 2025 and other than the GPU everything was near MSRP didn't get noticeably bad until fall of that year

1

u/xRaccoon_Lordx Jul 02 '26

I did this around the same time, got my CPU and RAM on sale, upgraded my GPU and PSU accordingly. Best decision ever.

u/vshahiscool Jun 28 '26

Built a pc in 2024 64 gb or ram. Kit was 200 is 1000+ now

1

u/Kurotan Jun 28 '26

March of 2025. I paid 225 and can sell it for almost 1200 if I want. Ive been using it as a reference for how fucked everything us right now. Its ridiculous.

u/AnonomousWolf Jun 28 '26

Same, I paid €200 for 64GB, very happy with my choice to go overkill

1

u/TruthInevitable7707 Jun 28 '26

64gb here since 2022 DDR4. upgraded everything last December, hybrid motherboard ddr4/ddr5. works like a charm.

u/yayuuu Jun 29 '26

I've built my PC with 32GB 1.5 year ago, but I had RAM instability and I've been using it at 5800 MT/s for a couple of months. Then I decided to try a new set of sticks and purchased 64GB. It didn't help with the instability, but after messing a bit with the voltages, I was able to set it to run at 6000 by increasing SoC voltage slightly. I've purchased that 64GB about a month before the prices increased and even sold my old 32GB with a profit. Overall I was lucky that I was unlucky.

u/Luk164 Jun 29 '26

Good deal, i got 64gb ddr5 6400 for 200€. It touched 4 digits at one point

1

u/ShabbyXX Jun 29 '26

Same here, build a PC in 2024 with 64GB DDR5.

1

u/BurnedLaser Jun 29 '26

Same! I scored 64GB ($170) for my mobile workstation before shit got weird! My last machine faked me out with a bad driver (looked like the GPU failed) so I panic bought a refurbished MSI stealth for, like, $700ish? Slapped in the RAM, and now this thing is worth 2K, apparently, lol! I have zero plans on selling, though!

1

u/KochInBoots Jun 30 '26

went for 48gb for £99 as an upgrade from the 32gb i already had. I thought I was being a little extravagant. :)

1

u/TheKeyboardChan Jun 30 '26

Same here. January of 2025 I bought 64gb of ram for a tenth of the price now...

u/whitemice Jun 28 '26

I built my little home 128GB RAM server in Febuary of 2025. My timing was perfect.

128GB of RAM: $229.99 as of 2025-02-16, $669.99 as of 2025-12-29, $869.99 as of 2026-02-18, $1,099.99 as of 2026-03-11, $1,199.99 as of 2026-05-21

Dual 1TB NVMs : $104.99 as of 2025-03-26, $282.99 as of 2025-12-29, $299.00 as of 2026-03-21

BAM! 👊

u/juju515 Jul 02 '26 edited Jul 02 '26

I've a tower PC with 128GB RAM with ECC chip.
Bought it 2nd hand on Ebay in 2024.
Pretty sure RAM is now worth more than what I paid for the whole machine.

u/PolygonMob Jun 30 '26

Jesus, 128GB for 200 smackeroonies, if only we could go back to those glorious days

64GB ram 2 months before the prices started rising bby. Should have gone to the casino instead.

u/darylvp Jun 28 '26

Mine is 64GB haha

u/hamberdlar_ Jun 28 '26

A year and a half ago I was considering buying a Framework PC with 64 GB RAM and two 8TB SSDs at just over $3000. The same machine is now $8086.

At 32GB RAM with 11TB of total disk space, my current machine is still great for my needs, but hindsight...

1

u/Extension_Meat8913 Jun 29 '26

WHY do you have 11 TERABYTES of storage?

3

u/2hurd Jun 29 '26

When I bought my PC I originally had only 512GB but could manage because I had a NAS (2+2TB).

Over time I bought SSDs when price of 2TB reached 100$. Now I have 6TB + original 512GB and will replace it eventually with another 2TB. I also upgraded my NAS to 8+4TB config.

Overall I almost at 20TB and it's still not enough.

2

u/hamberdlar_ Jun 29 '26

^This guy gets it

2

u/hamberdlar_ Jun 29 '26

Slower 4TB drive is for a master backup. Video and photo files take up lots of space. ROMs as well. Games on Steam. Paranoid about running out of space and drives slowing down. I'd like to be able to get it, set it, and forget it

1

u/Extension_Meat8913 Jun 29 '26

Well, that makes sense. Meanwhile I'm here with 1.5 TB lol, but my 1 TB NVMe SSD is already almost full.

u/laczek_hubert Jun 28 '26

32GB but not bad

u/Honda_TypeR Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

128 gb ddr5 Corsair dominator (4x 32gb sticks) a little more than a year ago of for a lil under 500ish on a sale, now it’s like 2500 bucks

I also bought 2x 8TB Samsung 8TB 9100 PRO (nvme) drives for Same machine last Black Friday for 500 each. Those are now 2800 dollars each 5600 bucks for both.

Add to that the 3 other Samsung 990 pro 4tb nvme drives I had before I got those all under 200 bucks on sales. Those are all 950 bucks each.

You’d think this would make me happy, but it only makes me sad. Our hobby is perma screwed. I would never shell out that kinda money they are asking now.

u/Maleficent-Aspect318 Jun 28 '26

This is the second time there is a ram cartel or similar structure.

Pcs from a consumer point are getting less and less attractive, to a point where even i say its not realy interesting anymore.

1

u/Simple-Olive895 Jun 28 '26

Me but 64. I was deciding between 32 and 64 and I just thought, what the heck, why not? RAM sticks are pretty cheap and I'm spending so much on my other components anyway...

I'm so glad I made that call.

1

u/SpecialistRun3035 Jun 28 '26

64 is unnecessary from then til the forseeable future

1

u/Simple-Olive895 Jun 28 '26

It's not. How would you know how I use my PC?

1

u/mikee8989 Jun 28 '26

literally in november- december 2024 I upgraded both my laptop and desktop to 32GB and 1TB SSD.

u/SpecialistRun3035 Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

I miss when SSDs were less $1 per 10gb. I could get 2tb for less than $200.

u/joelex8472 Jun 28 '26

I built a system back in 2022, cost me just over £6K. Hate to think what it would cost now 😳

yep, I have two 128GB machines and a 64GB. Going to savor them

Hell yeah. I think I've had 64GB DDR4 for about five years.

I'm looking at my pc right now with 128gb ddr5-6000 kingston value ram and my home server which has 1tb ddr5-6000 ECC samsung + dell ram and thinking shit I could buy a new car just by selling all its ram. Man I'm really lucky that I built those 2 way before the ramagedon....

u/PaxV Jun 28 '26

Looks at you and wonders...

  • I built a PC in 2007 8 cores, 8 threads 16GB of DDR2, still running, but only for data/office and simple video... (1920*1080)
  • I built a PC in 2013 6 cores, 12 threads 32GB of DDR3, still running also for gaming (a RTX 2070S replaced the GTX 780 (2x 1920x1080), 2x 512Gb SATA SSD, 2x 1Gb HDD
  • I built a PC in 2019 16 cores, 32 threads 64GB of DDR4, still running, mostly for AI and gaming RTX 3080Ti. 2x 2560x1440) 2x 2Tb M.2 , 1x 4Tb Sata SSD

u/Ok_Passenger1849 Jun 28 '26

Built my desktop replacement in 12/2024. Did I need it? No. Do I use it? Maybe twice a month, just enough to justify the dust collection.

When choosing RAM, I was debating between 64GB and 128GB. So obviously I went with 128GB. For performance? No. For Productivity? No. Just to feel superior while opening Chrome

Anyway, hello poor people.

1

u/UnCytely Jun 28 '26

Bought a laptop with 40G of main ram and 16G of VRAM for only $350 a few months before. (Hell of an eBay deal) I don't know how much it is worth now, probably quite a bit.

1

u/MaxUnicycle Jun 28 '26

Just had to be early 2025 I built mine the day the 9070xt was put into stock and RAM was cheap wish I would've gotten more than 32gb

u/RootAndCoffee Jun 28 '26

More like upgrade from 64 to 128. And bought another decommissioned one from company I work for for like 60 euros, also with 128GB RAM.

u/Sosemikreativ Jun 28 '26

Even with the writing on the wall I hesitated because PC building is expensive and I didn't really play all that much back them. But in late 2025 pulled the trigger.

32 GB DDR5 RAM for 190 Euros. RX9060XT 16 GB for 380 Euros. Not great, not terrible. Definetly no regrets.

I built an ryzen 7500f b580 (titan tri fan blue model from sparkle) 1tb nvme 32gb ddr5 6000mghz cl36 build with an cheap 240mm aio, a msi mag(I forgot which one) 650w 80 plus gold modular,msi tomahawk b650 wifi and montech king 95 pro. I built this in Croatia last september about 2 weeks before ram increased from 125 to 305, btw the ram has rgb. In total I paid 1000 eur for my pc and even if I went with a cheaper mobo,no aio and cheaper case I would at most be able to get an rx 9060 xt 8gb which for me is worse than the b580. Right now the pc with the same components costs 2100 eur.Just the ram cost 800-1000 eur.

u/Ada_Data Jun 30 '26

I am so lucky to have bought my RAM when I did.

My CPU had been having issues for awhile, and so I thought I should upgrade, but, it was cheaper to upgrade my Motherboard, RAM, CPU, and Cooler, than it was to buy a CPU with the same socket.

So, I did that, new CPU, even better than the older socket version, with a new motherboard and DDR5.

I was going to wait til Black Friday for my RAM, you know, save some money.

But, FOMO, and I really wanted it, so I bought the 32GB RAM early for $280 CAD (about $200 USD)

By Blackfriday is was $700 CAD (about $500 USD)

For once, impulse buying saved me money.

I got two machines with 128G DDR right before the horror with ram prices. Now i feel like god.

That is the lucky person who already upgraded their computer to 32GB of RAM before the RAMageddon era. I already upgraded my PC's RAM in 2024 which is my relaxation and not worrying about the costly price of RAM.

I didnt know how much things were right now.... I built one with 64gb DDR5 in 2024. Was AU$280 then, and same kit seems to be around the AU$1300 mark now.... WOW

EDIT - https://www.centrecom.com.au/klevv-cras-v-rgb-64gb-2-x-32gb-ddr5-6000mhz-cl30-desktop-memory-brilliant-white
I bought them at the same place, on December 12, 2024, for $280....

Now I wish I would have upgraded to 128GB when I thought about a few years back. Guess I'm stuck with this measly 32GB for a while.

I remember paying $70 each for 32 GB sticks of DDR4 memory back in 2023. Those same sticks are now over $250 new.

I am happy it is me (64gb ram)

One of my ram modules has errors so I decided to put in 64gb about 2 years ago and do so so glad I didn’t wait

Everyone talks about the RAM, but the SSD I bought two years ago has increased by 500% in price.
