> 1. I don’t know what RAM you’re buying, but mine costs way more than that. It’s especially bad if you’re using AMD.

DDR4 at 3200MHz, plenty to make Ryzen happy, is available at $4 per GB on Amazon. That gets you half a gig for $2. But that's not even our max budget. If we use oefrha's estimate of 300MB of RAM eaten by Electron, then we have a budget of $6.80 per GB. That gets you very nice RAM.
