Mostly Gaming, going to stream soon.

Also for video and image editing.

well, more ram is in my budget, but a new and stronger GPU would cost me about 5 times as much... maybe in a couple more months :)

Then it's really good. Next upgrade should probably be GPU and not RAM.

But buying that RAM, means you need to save longer for a new GPU. Which you need A LOT more than the ram.

Agreed. Id vote either a GTX 1070 or Vega 56. If you can get your hands on either one for a reasonable price.

Like others have said, buy a better GPU first before worrying about upgrading RAM.

Also check your usage to see if your even exceeding 16gb of ram.

Don't buy a 7700k. Absolutely no need for 32GB RAM. Wait for Coffee Lake, or get an R5 1600/R7 1700. Upgrade that 780Ti.

Thank you all for the comments! it'll be very helpful in my decision!

 

For now I'll take your advice and hold off on getting more RAM, who knows, maybe I'd be able to get a 1080 second hand for sale :)

BTW, the reason I'm thinking on getting more RAM, is because I'm running 2 modded minecraft servers on my PC 24/7 and it's taking a a lot of RAM to do so while playing...
