I found a Crucial stick (16GB 5600 SODIMM) for like $180 on eBay. Ordered it a few days ago because I just wanted to have it by the time I did get my Steam Machine purchase email and then I ended up getting the purchase email yesterday, so hopefully it will all come next week. I also ordered a 2TB NVMe on eBay for $190.
Apparently the memory can be very unstable unless you have 2 identical sticks
