I am currently looking to upgrade to a new computer, and am looking at a build on PC Part Picker for around $1500. (https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/rhrxFT/enthusiast-intel-gaming-build)
One thing I cannot stomach, however, is paying $175 for RAM when the prices are so inflated. The PC I am currently using has 14 GB of DDR3 RAM running at 1333 MHZ. Would it be an utter disgrace to my new PC to take two sticks of RAM (probably 8 GB total) from the old one, and put them in the new one to hold it over until prices drop significantly? How much would performance be impacted? And, if it is such a huge problem to use inferior RAM, where can I find decent RAM for less than $170?
P.S. Here is the link to what I'm looking at for the build. Suggestions are welcome.
