The incremental cost of the 7xxx series is a lot larger.

the incremental cost of not buying RAM now while it's cheap is going to be a lot larger too.

how long do you really want to be using that shitty 2018-era 16GB kit? are you comfortable riding it for another 2-3 years until RAM prices finally come down again?

people are about to learn a hard lesson about buying things when they are cheap. RAM prices in 2017 were triple what they were in 2016 (and not shitty kits either, by that point it was 3000C15/3200C16 kinda stuff).
