Now is a terrible time to be building a PC, or at least upgrading its RAM. Prices for DDR5 RAM have more than doubled since November 2025, to the point that for the cost of 64GB, you could buy a PlayStation 5 Pro. Let's all blame generative AI for this one -- the massive expansion of datacenters has swallowed up supply. Micron is even winding down its Crucial consumer brand to focus exclusively on datacenter customers. For those of us who've been building PCs for a long time, seeing the Crucial name disappear is akin to finding out that your local grocery store is no longer carrying Pepsi or Dr. Pepper.
