I'm finally ready to build my new PC after many years, but I'm facing some serious challenges with finding affordable RAM here in Spain. Every option I see on Amazon seems ridiculously priced—I'm looking at around 400 euros for a 2x16GB 6000MHz kit. The delivery dates are absurd too, some are showing up to June 2026! I'm considering if I should settle for a 5600MHz RAM instead, as I'm also planning to pair it with an RTX 5070 Ti and a Ryzen 7800X3D. Is there anyone out there who has found a solution to this dilemma?

You could go for slower RAM, like a 5600MHz kit, which is often cheaper. Honestly, the performance difference between 6000MHz and 5600MHz isn’t massive, so you might save some cash going for the latter. If you can get a decent price for 5600MHz RAM, I say go for it!
Honestly, waiting seems to be the best bet right now. Prices appear to be rising weekly, but I bought a 5600MHz kit for around $220 just five days ago, and now it’s jumped to $270! If you see a decent price, snatch it up fast!
I have a hunch that prices will stabilize early next year once the craziness settles down. Fingers crossed!
I’d suggest looking at some local stores or the used market before settling. Sometimes you can find good deals on second-hand RAM—just make sure it’s in good condition!
If you're in the market, you might want to check out these links. One option is to buy the sticks separately, which could save you some money. But be careful, some sellers can be iffy. Here's a cheaper RAM option I found.
Yeah, it's true! Just be sure to check if the timings and other specs align with your setup.
