I understand. That makes sense (the lack of demand for 8gb high speed).

As for relocating the drive, I could possibly do that if I buy a bracket to mount it in a 5.25 bay. As for getting a 2.5 SSD, well I'd rather not right now. The 2tb drive is only half full & 3 years old, so it still has some good life left. Once I get near filling it, I would have to think about a new drive.

Ideally 3000 MHz or higher.
I have the 2600, and 3000mhz ram.

thinking out the box

can you not relocate the hdd ?

or use a 2.5 inch ssd (which are falling down in price like a cliff drop these days)

this is the problem
buyers of 8gb (2x4) dont usually want to spend too much money

so would settle for 2133/2400 kits (just to get it working on 8gb)

buyers of 3200mhz ram are usually looking for max frames in games and would only be buying 16+gb

soooooooo

far far less 3200mhz+ 8gb ram kits for sale due to lack of demand

not to say you cant get them , just stocks and choices are far less

for what in effect should be a quite modest increase of the build cost i still would recommend 16gb , and in a few years you would see the wisdom of the extra cash now

$77 from amazon usa for 2x8gb

may i say you didnt look too hard mate
