I run 8gb on 3/4 PC's. I think 8gb is good...
16gb is fantastic...I think I seen the 3000mhz Trident Z's 32gb 16-18-18 kits for $169 recently.
I'm going to pointlessly upgrade to 32gb myself sometime this year.
I think we'll see 3200mhz 32gb kits going for $139 or better by July.

I'll be hanging on for a little longer if that's the case

It's a shame I'm in the UK...

for intel rigs the sweet spot is 3000 cl15 as a good value option and 3600 cl16 as performance oriented.no need to pay a huge premium for b-die memory to run 3600 c16,that's only required for ryzen.just get any 3600c16 kit,preferably from qvl,and enjoy it at a much lower price than you'd pay for g.skill's b-die.

It’s almost like Phill has a buddy in the US who can grab stuff for him and just ship it over....

Things that make you go “hmmmm....” xD

I sure do have a buddy over there, he gets me into all sorts of crazy ideas and projects....

Are memory prices over in the states that much different to the UK prices?? Am I being crazy??

You guys are either cheaper (before VAT) or close to the same
We don't call it a VAT but we do have sales tax and where I live it's 7.25%.

My good friend @TheMadDutchDude is in Ohio as well

I saved a shed load on some PSUs and a X299 Dark a while back so I'm all for spending and getting a decent deal out of it

It’s typically 30% or so cheaper to buy in the US because of the exchange rate.
