I am happy I could still get it in red 😋
Original RAM was Ballistix Sport LT 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200), while my new sticks are TeamGroup T-FORCE VULCAN Z 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18.

I went 128GiB RAM on my latest build.. custom water loop, 6800xt water-cooled GPU, 7900x water-cooled CPU.
But hey, I deserved it. The PC I was replacing was built in 2014 with 2013 parts (later upgraded to eBay 3770 / 1060 6GiB. It's still a daily driver ten years later, capable of 90% of modern games, 100% of the games I play!
A PC every ten years? Not bad. Hopefully this one lasts til 2033 :-)
Actually this was for an upgrade on my current PC from 2017. I've been running 16GB since my last build.
I had great luck buying used PC parts from eBay, I think I paid like $40 for my 3770. Will definitely upgrade again from eBay in the future! Considering swapping out my old Mobo and getting another used CPU from the 2020ish era. Old hardware can be revived over and over and over.. and I intend to make it last til somethint pops!
Something to consider if you have a niche upgrade, used parts.
That's awesome to see an 8 year old PC still getting attention. My old PC has 32GiB RAM but that's just because it is the max that old Mobo supports.
I'd love to upgrade my mobo, I've an i7-11700 and it's still capable of playing modern games on high on at least 60 and I don't mind lowering things to medium anyway if need be. But the mobos dated and I've a 6800xt and I'd like to use rebar or whatever the amd things called that you can use when your CPU and GPU are both amd.
