💸 Best RAM for Budget Build

A budget build is optimized for one number: dollars per gigabyte. $/GB gets by far the heaviest weight here — everything else is a guardrail, not a goal. The capacity floor exists only to keep a dirt-cheap 8GB single stick from topping a list where it would leave a modern desktop starved, and speed/latency carry token weight because a budget kit's job is capacity at a price, not headline numbers on a box.

493 eligible kits in CA, 16GB or more — with in-stock kits ranked ahead of out-of-stock ones.
