Fucking sucks. Literally just started building a computer for my husband. We already bought the case, motherboard, PSU, HD, liquid cooling kit and CPU… All that’s left is GPU and RAM 😭 fuckin half way ass done computer now on the verge of never being built. At least it’s pretty.
I don’t have any RAM lol. I’ve been slowly buying these parts for a few months now. This is all completely new. On my purchase timeline I was supposed to buy RAM this week. 😹
Number of slots is misleading with DDR5. When you need more RAM, you’re supposed to replace the entire kit instead of trying to expand. It’s also now recommended you only use 2 slots even if it has 4. When I found that out, I couldn’t believe how fucking stupid it is. Even RAM is enshittified in 2025.
I wanted to punch someone when I first read this. What the hell is the point if you can’t use all the slots. You also have to stagger them, there’s no using the first 2. Fuckin bullshit

At least the AMD chips have an integrated GPU so with some ram you could have a basic computer.
It’s the RAM that’s extremely expensive 😭
True, but you can expand the ram, your board has enough slots. You’re stuck with whatever video card you can afford until the next upgrade.

Can confirm, I’m running 3x 4K monitors with Ryzen 9900X easily. I’m not into gaming, though.
