I'm planning to get 16 GB of RAM for my PC, with the intention of upgrading to 32 GB later this year. Should I invest in a motherboard and RAM with DDR4 now and upgrade both later, or should I go ahead and buy DDR5 RAM (16 GB) along with a compatible motherboard to save money in the long run?

Before anything, think about the CPU you're looking to get; that's really the first step. Your choice of motherboard and RAM should be guided by the CPU compatibility.
If your budget allows, go for DDR5! It will future-proof your system better, and you'll likely get better performance.
Remember, once you decide on a motherboard and CPU that support either DDR4 or DDR5, you're locked into that choice. So, check what CPU you’re going for first—then pick the appropriate AM4 or AM5 board and RAM to match!
Honestly, it’s all about CPU compatibility. Just make sure whatever you choose works well with your processor, and you should be good!
