The best Amazon Prime Day RAM deals to survive the memory crisis

Save yourself a few bucks during the RAMpocalypse

If you're looking for cheap RAM in the Prime Day sales, you're definitely not the only one. Since early 2025, there has been a global RAM crisis happening. Memory has skyrocketed in price thanks to a supply shortage, because so much of it is being used for AI data centers. As a result, anyone looking to upgrade their gaming PC or build one from scratch has required much more outlay to be able to afford it.

While these Prime Day RAM deals aren't quite at pre-crisis prices, there are some decent savings to be made at Amazon, along with some other retailers also partaking in the sales. Here are the cheapest memory deals we can find.

1 Patriot Viper Venom 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5

Getting your hands on two sticks of 16GB RAM is a tricky endeavor in the RAMpocalypse, because as you can see from this deal, it's incredibly expensive, especially for DDR5. It hurts to think about how this was half the price just two years ago. Prices are highly unlikely to ever drop back down to those levels though, so on Newegg, (with code FTTF359, which should be auto-applied once added to your basket), the Patriot Viper Venom 32GB at $349.99 (which is $45 off) is one of the cheapest you'll find for DDR5 during Prime Day.

2 Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5

Corsair is one of the most reputable brands when it comes to computer hardware, and the Corsair Vengeance series of RAM is one of the most reliable. However, you're paying for it: the Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 is $399.99 at Best Buy. This is $77 cheaper than its listing price, though, and $14 cheaper than the same product on Amazon.

3 PNY Performance 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4

If you're content with the slightly slower DDR4, look no further than the PNY Performance 32GB offering on Amazon. This Prime Day deal takes the listing down from $299.99 to $214.99, saving you $85.

4 Crucial Pro Kit 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4

Crucial is another fairly prestigious brand when it comes to RAM, so if you want another option for 32GB of DDR4, check out the Crucial Pro Kit 32GB listing on Best Buy. This is the exact same price as the PNY Performance option on Amazon, but you save over $100 here.
