@Basil: If you're talking about DDR3 then the limit is 32GB kits (4x8 modules), at least that's the higher I've seen.

 

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are Sales that don't happen here... or at least didn't happen. Last year there was an online PC parts site that did something similar, so I'll keep an eye on them. But to be honest, I only need a better graphics card and unless I find a really great GPU sale, I think I'll wait until Artic Islands and Pascal are launched.

Well, there are bigger kits - if you can provide the money: https://www.alternate.de/Transcend/DIMM-128-GB-DDR3-1600-Quad-Kit-Arbeitsspeicher/html/product/1223223?tk=7&lk=8265

I'd also wait. The next gen GCN will be a bigger overhawl than the previous incremental updates, so there will surely be more substantial performance boosts than in the previous itinerations. And I'd wait for Pascal since Maxwell seems to perform poorly right now on DX 12, limiting it's potential long-term performance

That memory kit is insame. I find it hard to believe that there's a market for it, besides business ofc.

My biggest problems with current cards are the size and the power consumption which equals to heat. My current case can't house cards longer than 10" or 25 cm, and it's a silent case so it doesn't like hot components (thought I have extra fans to deal with it). Of course I could get a new case, but with a limited budget, the money spend on a new case will mean less money for the card . 

So the new gen of cards at 16nm and HBM will solve my two problems at the same time: they'll be shorter and a mid range card won't use more than 175-200W while providing me with a huuuge performance upgrade.
