I'm assembling my first PC and noticed that DDR5 RAM prices have skyrocketed. Initially, I was planning on getting two 16GB sticks, but the cost has really increased. Should I go ahead and buy the RAM now, or is it better to wait for potential price drops? I'm concerned they might continue to rise. Any advice? (Apologies for my English; it's not my first language.)

Honestly, it's not the best time to be looking for RAM. Prices are pretty high right now, and it might be a tough wait if you're in a hurry to build your PC.
It's going to be a while before we see lower prices. Even with new factories expected to come online, it could take years. Consider how much RAM you'll need in the future and buy accordingly.
I'd recommend buying now. I don't see prices dropping anytime soon, and they might even rise further.
If you can wait, do so. Some estimates suggest we won't see a drop for another year or two. But if your build can't wait until then, just buy it.
Prices are a bit of a gamble. They could go up or down, but right now it feels like a shot in the dark.
