Hey Everyone!

 

I have a established build that I am wanted to upgrade slightly, but when it comes to RAM there are a lot of factors to consider and I am not an expert by any means. Image attached of system specs. So my question:

 

Would it be more beneficial to up my current RAM from 2x8GB to 4x8GB at 3200 or completely change to 2x16GB at 3600. Currently rocking the Trident Z RGB, but if I go with the 2x16GB option, I am open to recommendations.

 

This build is my daily driver with some moderate gaming. I would like to eventually stream but know I have a bit of work before that is possible.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
