The fuck kind of midranged suggestion is 32GB of RAM that costs as much as a nice processor?
I like how a major point of their pros is whether or not it has lights on.

To trick people into thinking that 32gb is midrange
in reality 8gb of ddr3 is great midrange, and 16gb is great high end.

anything more than 16gb is literally worthless in a gaming PC.
16gb protects you from games with memory leaks.
anything more is great for rendering, etc, but only things that actually will use it.

You've never played a game by keen house software.
16G low end 32G midrange. 128G perfect amount.
good thing i bought 16GB HyperX Fury on a huge bargain of ~80€, bought one in feburuary and another one in august. And the prices are skyrocketing fast.

I feel like 8 is starting to slide into the area 4 used to be in, it's not exactly low-end but you really start to feel it in the more modern games.
8gb is definitely not enough anymore

We're starting to feel the limits of 8GB now at the very least.
I'd love to upgrade with another 8GB kit, but I want the same shit I already have (and need it as low profile heat spreaders are the only thing that will fit under my heatsink). But the price of my kit tripled in under a year and has no signs of dropping.

Regular DDR ram its irrelevant to match the sticks unless you're really going for the show appeal. I got a 16G 1866 set cheaper than my 8G 1600 kit. Since my CPU was going to throttle it to 1600 anyways it didnt matter much for me.
If this was ECC-DDR, we would be in a different situation.

Eh, 16GB is sort of the sweet spot nowadays IMO, not putting any less into a gaming system unless the person it's for is on a really tight budget

My current kit runs a 2133, almost every other DDR4 kit is faster than that and I'm too lazy to OC the current sticks to match a more common speed. Not that faster ones are particularly cheaper.
I'm used to mix-and-match RAM, but I was hoping to keep this rig somewhat consistent :v:

You can have whatever speed you what, when it boils down what your CPU can handle it really doesnt matter unless you're planning on overclocking the memory controller.

Oh yeah I know you can mix and match speeds. But unless it's been "fixed" in DDR4, do faster sticks still downclock to play nicely with slower sticks? Spending money on speed I wont see if so.
It's not the end of the world, if I see a cheapish kit of low profile sticks at some point I'll grab it. But fuck it's awful how sharply the prices ran up.

By standard, they should. You can't combine DDR4 with DDR3 obviously, but the timing match/speeds normally work well with desktop/non-ecc setups across all iterations of DDR.
