I'm planning to build my PC in a few months, possibly up to a year from now. In the meantime, I'm thinking about starting to buy parts to manage costs better. Should I secure 32GB of DDR5 RAM now before prices might increase, or should I focus on getting a GPU first? Also, what are the opinions on RAM prices? Are they expected to go up, or have we hit a stable point for now?

If you're not building for a while, I recommend holding off on buying anything yet. Prices seem like they will keep climbing, but you could also end up with dead parts that are out of warranty by the time you get to your build. Saving money right now is probably the best strategy.
Honestly, I think you should prioritize RAM and storage right now. There's still some time to catch good GPU deals, but RAM might not stay stable for long. Prices can get tricky, so locking in a good deal on RAM might be smarter in the long run.
It’s hard to say what prices will do. If we had a crystal ball, we’d all be rich! The market can change quickly, and both parts could either drop or soar in price. If you buy now, just hope it doesn’t drop later on. A year is a long time to wait for a build, though.
I’m with the others—focus on RAM if anything. But be cautious about buying too early; tech prices are unpredictable. If something goes on sale, that might be your best bet.
