Hi guys,

Am looking at a new build in a month or two (not 100% sure on Intel or AMD yet, waiting to see how Comet Lake fares).

Memory is a minefield! From what I can tell, the sweet spot appears to be 3600 C16 and I'm looking for 32GB of the stuff. Can't see myself ever going beyond this so 4x8 would be fine providing it's stable.

Looking around, this is really hard to come by. A lot of people on here seem to recommend the 8Pack Team Group stuff and I notice the 16GB kit is reduced right now to £120:

I'm wondering whether I should grab two of these now, even though I'm not going to be building for a month or two? Would there be any problems grabbing two of these rather than a dedicated four-kit?

Any advice or recommendations appreciated.
 
Thanks for the input, I guess I'm just concerned that prices will have returned/ballooned in a couple of months if this mayhem keeps up but I guess there's no way of knowing.

Regards the Crucial Ballistix, I see that's actually 16-18-18-38 rather than 16-16-16-36 of the 8Pack.

Also there seems to be some confusion on the four-dimm kit of the 8Pack stuff, as it's listed as 16-18-18-38 but one of the reviews says it's actually the same 16-16-16-36 stuff as the dual-pack.

In reality, how much difference does CL16 vs CL18 make at 3600Mhz? I'm thinking gaming specifically here?
