I'm currently in the middle of building a ITX machine for my partner so she can play games with me. Ran into a mate of mine the other night who due to a mix up at the retailer had a spare 16gb kit of brand new DDR5-5200 and was looking at selling it on Marketplace. He fucking hates Meta (good bloke) and said for mates rates he'd give it to me for AUD $200 just so he didn't have to reinstall Facebook.

Fucking sold. Same kit is currently "on special" for $369 on the site he bought it from. Prices are fucked.
