Not as good as the last deal (pricing error?) at $126 but still a great price for 32GB.
Speed is also 3000Mhz rather than 3200Mhz, but I suspect it will run 3200Mhz as it has a slightly lower CL (15 vs 16).
CamelCamelCamel.
Nope you can never have too much ram.
Remember all those people saying 2gb, 4gb, 8gb were all you need? Ram usage will always constantly increase.
16gb is the bare minimum nowadays, some games won’t run well with less, very soon it won’t be enough.
32gb is the current sweet spot, I wouldn’t get less than that if you play games, 64gb is cool if you have money to spend.
Yo to the downvoter, can you justify your vote by commenting why you disagree?
Otherwise, you're not adding anything useful to the conversation and may mislead people with your vote.
Post Scriptum a WW2 game for example has 8GB listed as minimum required ram the game needs and 16GB as the recommended amount of ram.
In reality 8GB is not enough and the game will use up close to or all of 16GB ram. Even though 16GB is the recommended amount of ram, it is already close to not being enough.

32gb isn't the sweet spot. 16gb is. Especially 16gb of quality ram as far as Ryzen is concerned.
Unless of course you have the need to have 58965 Chrome tabs open.
The only argument I'd see for 32gb otherwise is the price is cheap now and they are forecasting it to rise again….
@scuderiarmani: Thanks for replying. Appreciate it.
I won’t downvote you for your opinion.
I watched your 20 minute video from a year ago. Almost all of the games he benchmarked used more than 8gb of ram.
A lot pushed passed 10/12gb.
I’ve provided an example of a game which can use up 16gb.
There are a lot of other games that also use close to or more than 16gb and there will be a lot more games coming in the near future that will also need close to or more than 16gb of ram.
That’s not even taking into account productivity apps or google chrome tabs or professional software. Just pc gaming.
From your own source 8gb is shown to be too low, that rules it out completely in new PC gaming builds as the low amount of ram is already insufficient.
16gb becomes the new minimum with some games already pushing 16+, especially if using mods, 64gb is too much right now. Hence 32gb being the new sweet spot.
If a lot of games are already utilising close to or more than 16gb, it is a sign that 16gb is starting to become not enough.
I respect your response but disagree and stand by my opinion.
16gb is the new minimum with 32gb being the sweet spot, and 64gb being overkill at the moment.
Good price for 32GB of 3000mhz :)
Fixed already, must have been another error.
Is there a guide regarding which RAM we should get?
What motherboard and cpu do you have? Those will determine what ram you should choose.
Currently don't have anything. Looking to upgrade from a socket 1150 intel cpu. So basically starting from scratch.
Oh okay, so it's a new PC build? i would base a new system around a Ryzen 3000 series CPU.
What's your budget? I can help you choose the parts.
ive got a ryzen 9 3900X and Gigabyte AMD X570 AORUS PRO WIFI Motherboard any suggestions? i was thinking the corsair vegenence c16 3200
Ideally you want 3600mhz
@david6509: The 'Build a PC' subreddit is a place you can ask for advice about PC parts and building computers.

I don't know of any website that provides suggested ram for your system.
The closest is PCpartpicker, but that's mainly a price comparison tool. https://pcpartpicker.com/
Yeah mordinhoz is right. 3600mhz is the best your motherboard can support.
Anything from 3200mhz to 3600mhz would be great.
Gskill/Tforce have a couple 3600mhz variants that are similarly priced than Corsairs 3200mhz ram version of the ram highlighted in this deal - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/48318/corsair-vengeance-…
Is this the one you were thinking about? If so, i would also have a look at the ram i've listed below, you might be able to find them cheaper from other stores or sales.

Goddamn they get fixed fast.
Wow, they must be monitoring Ozbargain posts!
For those that missed out and need some RAM desperately, this Patriot 3200Mhz kit seems to be the next best deal.
