It's good to know you're using an older setup. I'm worried you might crash if things get worn out. You bought it for around $760 two years ago, with 16GB RAM and a 5500 MHz processor.
Offers have dropped somewhat but not much, since back in the 5500s they were near the 1.5jt range and the b450s hovered around the high 900rb or low 1jt. Mostly the rams have slipped because they’re under half the price from two years ago (~250 or 300rb for a stick with 16gb at 600rb). The PSU was also down to about 800rb, which was still a solid deal at the time. Now it’s even better.
Ddr4 is nearing the end of its life, so if you plan to purchase now and save components for future upgrades, I’d recommend going with ddr5. However, people usually keep CPU, memory, and RAM together when selling or upgrading, which means it doesn’t really change much in practice.
