"I've been saving for months to get the Corsair Dominator 64GB CL30 kit," one beleagured PC builder wrote on Reddit. "It was about $280 when I looked," said u/RaidriarT, "Fast forward today on PCPartPicker, they want $547 for the same kit? A nearly 100% increase in a couple months?"

Sort of, but you dont want to combine two sticks with different timings or frequency. So you gotta buy the high end ones straight away or be forced to remove the cheap one when you add better ones.

Yeah, and slots are limited. So if you get a 4x smaller sticks - i.e. 8+8+8+8 for 32Gb, and find you need 64gb+ then you need to pull out the existing sticks in order to make room for 4x16 or 2x32 etc
