While there isn’t a lot of focus on RAM, many folks don’t realize how complex and important it can be to have a smooth and silky day-to-day experience. For example, Windows 11 on its own consumes about 4GBs of RAM just sitting there, so having 8GB of RAM is really more like having 4GB of RAM. Luckily, if you’re building a new PC, there are a lot of great Black Friday deals on both DDR 4 and DDR5 RAM across various speeds and sizes, so you can pick something that perfectly fits your needs, budgets, and potentially your current build.
