This is the ram I have I think it's 16g. Is it better to get 16 more of the same or get a faster kit? Any recommendations? Thank you

There’s probably no ping in a faster kit, unless the old kit will na able to clock up to match the speeds, you’ll be stuck at the lower speeds anyways

That looks like a good RAM contender. But first, what are your motherboard and CPU models?

If the 3600mhz CL16 is almost the same price from where you are, I'd suggest you get that instead.

All memory sticks have to run at the same speed, timings, and voltage. This generally means that getting a faster kit will be pointless. 

 

Getting a second kit of the same memory is likely the safest upgrade.

more is typically better because it gives some more head room for running more programs at the same time. Generally going faster than 3200 mhz is negligible in terms of performance

DDR4 3600mhz (CL16 or lower). Is the sweet spot for modern Ryzen cpu's like yours. Thanks to AMD Ryzen's Infinity Fabric frequency technology.

 

I have personally tested and used several kits(MHz): 2666, 3200, 3600 and 4266 variants of different timings. And they have different advantage results based on actual use even if subjected to synthetic loads in benchmarking.

 

That is why, for your CPU, I suggested for you to get a kit of DDR4 3600mhz(CL16 or lower) if the price difference in your area/country is not that big.

 

Intel processors on RAMs are of different story.
