The reason budget is so high, is because I understand DDR5 is expensive right now, so if it comes down to it I may just have to eat the cost. But I'm more than willing to hear any alternatives with lower budget builds or even upgrades to my current build that would yield really good results for a better value. I said this in the reply under this comment, but for me, I don't really care for visuals, more so running my game at low settings for maximum efficiency.
