Sure, the saving of £8 you’re getting in the UK compared to its normal price of around £62 doesn’t sound particularly bargain-tastic in the grand scheme of things, but considering other Corsair RAM deals I’ve highlighted in the past have only tended to get as low as £60, this is still a pretty good discount all things considered. As I’ve said on previous occasions, 16GB of RAM is a good amount to aim for on a modern gaming PC. While 8GB is just about enough if you’re on a really tight budget, bumping it up to 16GB gives you more leeway for things like streaming, having a web browser open at the same time as your game, and running other programs in the background like Discord and Spotify. You really don’t need much more than 16GB for a regular PC in this day and age, as 32GB is just overkill for anything but the most hardcore of simulation games. Even Microsoft Flight Simulator still recommends you have 16GB of RAM, and only has 32GB as part of its ‘ideal’ PC specification. If you are in the market for 32GB of RAM, though, then US buyers can get a pair of 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600MHz sticks for $120 at the moment, but UK deals hunters are better off buying two pairs of the 16GB kit above if they want to maintain the same speed. Indeed, the cheapest 32GB (2x 16GB) 3600MHz goes for £125, which is a lot more expensive. Just make sure you’ve got enough clearance for four 8GB sticks, as sometimes your CPU cooler can inadvertently block one of them off.
