32GB for 375 seems pretty reasonable to me....32GB seems like an ass ton for enthusiasts.
Are you kidding me? This time last year you could buy 32GB of DDR5 for under $100
I used to plan for about $2/GB of RAM. So 64 GB used to call about $130.
Now it's about $12/GB of RAM, which means the cost of ram has multiplied 6-fold.
I paid $160 for the same last September.
I paid less than that for a very good 64GB less than 2 years ago.
