Honestly I might go for that Costco deal just for the RAM.

    it's going to be have like the slowest frequency a DDR5 can have but at current prices, getting your hands on one is already good enough.

    Yeah. I actually started building a PC just this week? The timing is horrid, but I felt like, is it actually going to get better? When does that happen in my life?

    Anyway. The RAM I ended up with cost a significant fraction of the GPU. It's all ballsed up. At least it isn't covered in stupid LEDs. I bought the cheapest 32gb DDR5 I could find and still spent like £400. All I can say is that Outlook had better run so good that I don't wonder what £400 of cocaine would have been like instead.
