Best Buy is offering a nearly $200 discount on the 64GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RAM kit, bringing the price to just under $1,000 during Memorial Day weekend—an unusually steep cut for a high-capacity kit aimed at both gaming PCs and creator workstations.
Memorial Day weekend is usually when shoppers hunt for small wins. This year, it’s also when a big-ticket upgrade briefly looks less out of reach.
Best Buy is discounting a 64GB Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 RAM kit by $176, dropping it to just under $1,000. The deal is positioned for gamers and DIY PC builders who’ve been watching RAM and storage prices climb as more companies rush to buy hardware for data centers and to train large language models.
The kit comes as a two-stick set that delivers 64GB of memory. designed as an “instant upgrade” for both gaming PCs and creator workstations. The pitch is straightforward: more headroom for data-heavy game assets and large files. plus the kind of bandwidth you want when multiple programs are running at the same time.
Visually, both modules use an all-black, low-profile design, which the listing frames as a fit for minimalist builds and systems that have to do double duty as both a gaming rig and a workstation.
On performance, the kit is built around a base clock speed of 4,800MHz. It can also be pushed up to a maximum overclock speed of 6,400MHz. For AMD-based builds, it carries AMD Expo certification, letting users create multiple overclocking profiles for performance across different games. For Intel-based builds, the kit is also Intel XMP 3.0 certified, with ready-made overclocking profiles aimed at simpler setup.
The editorial angle here is simple: this kit is still expensive, and the source is upfront about the reality that 64GB DDR5 can be overkill for most PC gamers. But with the $176 discount, it’s being described as the lowest price seen on a 64GB kit in a long time.
That pricing moment is also reflected in the deal rating. It was given a 3/5 Editor’s rating, with the reasoning tied directly to the kit’s 64GB dual-stick design, the 6,400MHz maximum clock speed, and AMD Expo support for multiple overclocking profiles.
Deals can sell out or expire at any time. The deal coverage also notes that the outlet remains committed to finding, sharing, and updating product offers—and that misses happen when stock doesn’t last.
One more detail sits behind how these discounts are presented: the publication describes using a percentage-off-based system to classify savings and a sliding-scale approach for deal rating based on team expertise and factors like frequency and brand or product recognition.

64GB for under a grand?? That’s wild I guess I should’ve waited lol
I don’t even know what DDR5 does half the time but 176 off sounds like a steal. Memorial Day deals always tempt me and then it’s out of stock anyway.
It says overclock to 6400MHz but isn’t DDR5 already fast enough? My buddy said more RAM makes your computer faster instantly which sounds like BS but idk. Also the whole AMD Expo/Intel XMP thing is confusing like is it the same RAM or not?
Best Buy cutting Kingston prices is nice but I swear every time I check Memorial Day stuff it’s gone. Like does the discount apply to the single stick or the whole 2-pack? And why is 64GB “overkill” for gamers but “data center” companies need it… aren’t gamers the data center lol
