I just picked up a 32GB DDR5 6000 36CL RAM kit for 230 EUR. I'm based in Latvia and I'm planning to build a new PC, but I kind of panicked and bought the RAM without checking on the prices of other components. Given the current market situation, do you think I got a good deal? Will I be okay waiting a few months to buy the rest of the parts?

230 EUR for a 32GB CL36 kit is pretty cheap compared to what I’ve seen recently—some places are charging up to 600 EUR! Sure, it was cheaper before, but it looks like you made a solid decision given the price hikes.
I bought a similar kit last year for around 100 EUR, so 230 EUR feels steep. But with the current prices being what they are, you might find it to be a reasonable buy after all, especially given the recent RAM shortages.
It's not the best deal, but it's not terrible either. For serious gamers, a CL36 isn't ideal, but it’s a decent step up. Just be aware that prices might keep climbing.
Honestly, 230 EUR isn’t too bad for what you got, considering the current market. The difference between CL36 and CL30 isn't really that significant for most users. Prices are pretty inflated right now, so you did alright under the circumstances.
That’s about the going rate nowadays. I found a 32GB set for around 120 EUR in a local shop that doesn’t sell online, so it’s worth checking those kinds of places if you’re still looking for other parts.
