iXenite Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 anyone know any cheap ddr4? Im going to have to take bets jumping off bridges just to afford the damn sticks Currently there really isn't any "cheap" DDR4. All the prices have been inflated for RAM for quite a long while now sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the prices have been inflated for RAM for quite a long while now sadly. SSD's are getting a little bit less expensive now so RAM prices should follow hopefully. But the industry is getting screwed up by the miners, by June RAM might be cheaper an Ryzen 2 might be out but you probably can't get any decent video cards by then.
