Im looking at an Acer aspire 5 slim model a515-43-r19l and am looking to upgrade it's memory kit with a Corsair or g.skill kit but I wanna make sure it's 100% compatible and not pay extra for performance i might not even get to use due to the CPU and Mobo not being able to make use of it.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, GPU: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070, RAM: T force rgb 16gb 3200Mhz, Mobo: Asrock B450M Pro4, Storage: Adata 128Gb SSD and Seagate Barracuda 1Tb HDD 7.2kRPM, PSU: Corsair 750W 80+ bronze,Case: Corsair 280x, Headphones: Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 Wireless, Speakers: Bose Companion Speakers

The reason I wanna get some good ram for the laptop is cause I plan to do light gaming on the go and I want to make the ram dual channel as they only sell it single channel

The games I plan on playing on it are potato friendly. And 4 gb of ram isn't enough for productivity
