I'm setting up a new PC and want to fill all four RAM slots. I haven't found any affordable 8GB x 4 kits. I prefer the crucial ballistix 3200MHz 8GB sticks, though they're inexpensive but require ordering four separate units since they aren't sold as a 32GB package. Should I purchase pre-made kits or would combining four individual 8GB sticks work?

Using ready-made RAM kits ensures all components function well together. It's recommended to purchase a kit since the pieces are designed to match. Buying individual sticks separately is possible but not suggested.

It should work, but buying two sets of 2x8 might be more affordable.

Obtaining each ballistix stick individually is more economical than any alternative.
