That’s great. The budget for my new custom-built PC wasn’t bloated enough as is.
Took them long enough.
With SSD prices going down (slowly) and their technology getting better, soon enough there won’t be a computer component bottlenecking the rest.
Hooray!
Cool, now a perfect excuse to wait for an upgrade
Cool, was planning a new build sometime anyway so I could have a new PC at home and leave my old one at a friends house for LAN gaming.
I’d have to build a completely new rig to use that properly, which, as a university student, I have no budget for whatsoever.
That said, when I eventually do upgrade, that’s definitely going to be on the list.
I just recently purchased 16 gigs of DDR3 RAM. I think I’ll keep that for now until it becomes a burden. Which might be a couple years. 
I’ve had 16 gigs of DDR3 RAM since upgrading my GPUs to 7770s.
I imagine the first waves of DDR4 sticks won’t be exactly cheap.
Besides, since upgrading to DDR4 also means buying a new motherboard, it’s best left for big upgrades or for those building new PCs.
For what I’m doing over the next year or so, I don’t foresee a need to upgrade. Unless 3D rendering (bumpmapping, shadows, whatever) is helped by it, I don’t think it’s going to be a thing I need. Isn’t that all CPU number crunching anyway?
Fast RAM is great for moving large amounts of data quickly, which helps games load things faster, but it doesn’t really have any influence on the rendering side of things.
It’s not a priority upgrade unless you really need to deal with large files a lot but it’s not something you should ignore if you’re doing a big upgrade or building a new rig.
Will this make DDR3 cheaper right away, or will that take a while to go down?
After using a few current gen computers I think the real bottleneck is badly optimized games at this point.
i still have ddr2 lol
I don’t think I’ve ever even played DDR.
I hate that feeling you get when new tech is released.
Now my DDR3 seems stale and old. 
RAM as a rule doesn’t get cheaper after a new type is released. The reason is that manufacturers stop making the current type and switch over to the new type. When the old type stops being produced, scarcity drives the prices up. Perhaps there will be some sales to deplete stock of DDR3, but outside of that, don’t expect it to get cheaper.
DDR3 stayed current-gen a while longer than DDR2, so maybe the extra time it will take for the prices to go up will allow for a few more clearance sales here and there, just keep a lookout.
Fucking waste of space that
