Why this memory (KVR13LR9Q4/32) is so expensive $835.80 in Amazon?

It will make total $ 6687 for desktop computer and that just on memory of 256 Gb.

Memory is sooo over priced compared to other PC parts.
I should be able to buy 8x 32 GB kit for that money.

I make $835.80 in 2 months working full time.

Because is a Buffered (Registered) with ECC part intended for Servers, not Desktop computers. You pay a hefty price premium to fit all that RAM in a single slot.

I haven't found jet un-buffered non ECC memory for desktop computers with single CPU that come in 32 GB modules.

Back in the day there was memory limit for some desktop CPU's.
Will the i7 i5 and i3 use all the 256 GB of memory on x79 motherboard?

Assuming you work about 160 hours a month at this full time position, that means you only make about $2.61 an hour? You should get a new job, and also go for 4-8GB of ram.

You need a LGA 2011 Xeon and very possibly a Server Motherboard to go with it. What allows for 32 GB modules is the fact that they're Buffered (Or Registered, whatever you prefer to call them). The Memory Controller instead of seeing the DRAM chips directly, sees the Buffering chip which works as a sort of intermediary. This lowers the electrical load on the Memory Controller and allow it to use more modules and/or DRAM chips per module. No Desktop platform supports Buffered DDR3.
The 32 GB module you want its Quad Rank and looks like this. You don't see Desktop parts like that because they rely on Server platforms features to make it work.
