32GB for 375 seems pretty reasonable to me....32GB seems like an ass ton for enthusiasts.
I used to plan for about $2/GB of RAM. So 64 GB used to call about $130.
Now it's about $12/GB of RAM, which means the cost of ram has multiplied 6-fold.
Are you kidding me? This time last year you could buy 32GB of DDR5 for under $100
I paid $160 for the same last September.
I paid less than that for a very good 64GB less than 2 years ago.
