64GB RAM is overkill for a budget build.

No. Get the DRAM SSD instead.

Here’s the thing: 64GB of RAM sounds impressive, but for gaming, general use, or even light video editing, you won’t use half of it. 16GB is plenty for most builds. 32GB is future-proof. 64GB is flexing on nobody but your wallet.

A DRAM-less SSD can slow down noticeably when you’re copying large files or running the drive near full. DRAM cache helps with random reads/writes and keeps performance consistent over time. That’s a real, everyday difference you’ll feel. Extra RAM you won’t.

On a budget, spend where the performance lives: the SSD. Future you will thank you.
