DDR4 RAM is getting expensive, but these 6 CPUs are still worth buying

DDR5 RAM has been in short supply since the beginning of the year, and there’s little sign of that changing anytime soon. As a result, first-time PC builders have been turning to older and more affordable but still relevant DDR4 platforms. The problem? DDR4 isn’t exactly cheap anymore either. A budget 16GB 3200MHz kit currently costs around $120, while 32GB can set you back around $210 (for reference, I paid $93 for 32GB 6000MHz DDR5).
