    You are going to need 64gb to game comfortably in the future, not very many people build a gaming PC for it to be pretty obsolete 2 years later, and being forced to have to start turning down all your settings. These AAA games get wilder and wilder and more demanding. They are often released in absolutely abysmal states too and it often takes a bit of time to get that cleared up.

    Even DDR4 ram is ridiculous right now, 32gb ddr4 plus a tb nvme will probably run you pretty close to a grand. That’s not even a case, motherboard, chip, power supply, a GPU (which may be close to another grand)…

    I mean if you want to play Indie games, then sure yeah any old rutabega PC will do it. But if you want it to last 5 or 6 years and be able to play AAA games at respectable levels, then you probably should build it with some muscle.

    You want to try and run something like GTA 6 when it comes out on a 1080 with 8gb of ram, I mean you do you.
