In moments like this I always wonder if I should temporarily make my PC unusable by reselling the component that's overpriced.
Then wait out the shortage and buy 4x as much RAM then x)
Almost did it with my GPU during covid.

Provided you don't need to upgrade for the next year or two, I think you will eventually have a ton of cheap and quality DDR5 memory to buy. I am looking forward to that, I want to build an endgame Threadripper Pro, and be set for a decade.
I bought the latest of some devices earlier this year, but didn’t have cash to buy a completely new PC. I’ve decided if my older desktop breaks, I’ll just have to get a “cheap” laptop & install Linux. Hopefully things stabilize within the next few years as manufacturers shift production.
I decided to build a new PC about a month ago. 64gb of ram was $250 and I thought that was excessive.
Man wish upgrade many ox ddr4 to something more then 16g oh welll now my ram and graphic card match in members size would love 32 or 64 go of ram
