Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x 8GB) 3600MHz - $76 from Newegg (down from $93)
16GB is more than enough for a gaming PC these days. It’s the amount we recommend in our £1000 RPS Rig build, and gives you plenty of headroom to play games and doing a couple of other things on the side, such as streaming, checking a web page or chatting with your mates over Discord or Skype. 32GB, meanwhile, is complete overkill unless you’re regularly running virtual machines or work with lots of intensive creative applications on a daily basis. Indeed, even Microsoft Flight Simulator only recommends having 16GB of RAM inside your PC, even if its ‘ideal’ spec does list 32GB. Equally, though, RAM prices seem to be quite high across the board right now, and $76 is by far the cheapest price I’ve been able to find for a kit of this size and speed. It also beats the price of slower 16GB RAM kits, too. It’s always possible that prices will come down in a couple of months time, of course, but if you need to upgrade right this second, then this is probably the best price you’ll get for the next little while.
