"8gb of DDR3!"

DDR3 rams are more expensive than other options at this point

don't know where you got that idea, but 16gb of ddr3 can be gotten easily for $30, as where 16gb of ddr5 is going to run you $100 minimum (talking retail prices, obv)

Really? Where I live I can't really get DDR3 rams anymore

Just looked up the cheapest new 16G options in Turkey

Ddr3: 1195₺ ~ $44
Ddr4: 837₺ ~ $31
Ddr5: 1179₺ ~ $44

Ddr5 is cheaper than you think

I think there is a difference (like you said) between you picking up 2 sticks of remaining DDR3 stock and a console manufacturer sourcing it for their new console.
