So I'm going to buy a new computer...

^ Exactly.

Or something like this. You could get three sets of these (24GB) for a total of 255 dollars (though to be honest, just ONE $@#!ING SET WOULD SUFFICE BUT WHO CARES RIGHT?! XD).

Also, look at this deal! CL8 1600 RAM for only 75 bucks a set, and it has a perfect 5 star rating. Great deal. That's 225 bucks for a set of 3 (24GB... again who needs that much, but whatever).

We're talking about shaving off at least $100 (on 3 sets; it's 75 dollars off with regards to what you were suggesting, which is still good) with no really noticeable performance decrease for him.

I'm not saying this just because I have a personal, strong hatred for overspending (>_>). I'm saying this because he's nearing his money limit with what he's getting right now, and unnecessary expenses need to be cut down.

well what do you know, it fits!

No monitor. I don't think this can be truly complete without getting a monitor, so prices still need to be taken down some.

Also, check the second pair of sticks I suggested. They're both cheaper and better (a hard to find "compromise" in these times); that shaves off 30 dollars.

he already has 3x2560x1600(ok, i`m stretching it too much) monitors imho read his earlier posts XD

its a low voltage dimm, it runs at 1.25volts in contrast to 1.5-1.6 standard voltage, ohh and the ram kit runs super cool(pun intended).
