I cannot find the Adata ram, but you can get 16Gb Crucial 2133Mhz ram from OCUK for £162 which is far from the £240 you said.

The price is going to be a little higher given there is only one platform that can use it, and that platform has not even been released yet but for those who are going to buy that, platform the cost of the ram is not going to be a issue.

If you want slightly faster ram and a heat spreader on the ram which is not needed then you can get Crucial Ballistix Sport 16Gb 2400Mhz for £180 when they come in stock, which is still cheaper than the £240 you quoted.

When the Adata ram is available fully in the UK that can be expected to be around £130 to £140 for the 16Gb kit, since it does appear all the retailers are inflating the prices up on it.

I don't know everything, not by a long shot but at least I look I provide the figures and where I get them from, and people may not agree with what is said but that's up to them.

Kabaal is just a typical example of someone who spouts a price for something, without actually looking in to it otherwise they would have seen it can be found cheaper than they are saying.
