I've been dreaming of building a PC for a few years, but I never had enough money until next year. However, I'm concerned about RAM prices going out of stock and whether I'll find any at a reasonable price by then. Is it going to be impossible to get RAM without spending over $400? Should I just be prepared to gather all my PC parts and end up waiting to get RAM for a while?

I suggest you keep an eye on buildapcsales for potential deals on RAM and join their Discord server for alerts on price drops. There are still decent kits available at better prices sometimes, so being proactive can help.
Instead of rushing to buy RAM, maybe consider saving and investing that money first. If you're not ready to buy now, patience could pay off better than jumping in too soon.
No one can say for sure what will happen with RAM prices, but if you're not building for a while, just focus on saving up. You can keep an eye out for good deals, but buying piecemeal might lead to you getting stuck without RAM later, which isn't ideal.
Honestly, you might want to hold off on looking at parts until you've saved enough to buy everything at once. It can be pretty pointless to stress over prices now when you’re still months away from your build. Better to wait and see what happens with prices before making any purchases.
