RAM prices are still high, but they’re not rising like they were and if you shop around there are bargains to be had.
Case in point, I’ve found a great deal on a Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB DDR4 memory kit, which is now $239.99 (was $279.99) at Newegg when you use promo code SSF5764 at checkout. That’s a solid saving on a capacity that’s ideal for modern systems.

It’s worth pointing out that this Corsair kit is DDR4 rather than the newer DDR5 standard. DDR5 is much faster overall, but that only helps if your motherboard supports it. For many existing systems, DDR4 is what you want.
This particular kit runs at DDR4 3200 speeds with CL16 timings of 16-20-20-38. Corsair includes dynamic multi-zone RGB lighting with 10 ultra-bright LEDs on each module, delivering colorful lighting effects that can sync with other Corsair components via its iCUE software ecosystem.
If this is the sort of thing you like, lighting effects can be set to match compatible CPU coolers, keyboards, and fans without complicated configuration steps or additional hardware requirements.
A custom performance PCB supports stable signal quality and reliable operation under load, which will benefit your system during long work sessions or when overclocking.
An anodized aluminum heat spreader keeps temperatures in check and Intel XMP 2.0 support will allow you to achieve the rated speed with a single BIOS setting instead of manually tuning multiple memory parameters.
If you’re building a compatible system or upgrading an older machine that already uses DDR4, this is a great deal, especially coming at a time when computer RAM prices are still on the high side.
