16GB Vs 32GB!

[HighTech Media]

So, Obviously, 32GB is much better than having 16GB Of ram. Im having trouble deciding weather I should just buy 16GB of ram or 32GB. Im a Graphic Designer

Messing with these programs:

-Cinema 4D

-Sony Vegas

-PhotoShop

-Dreamweaver

-AfterEffects

 

I currently have 8GB Of Corsair memory but I figure I should upgrade since Im rebuilding a new and better PC. Do I really need 32GB or am I fine with 16GB?

I dont want to pay for extra if 16GB will get the Job done great already!

Buy a 2x 8GB Kit, try it out and when u think it's enough keep it, if not buy a second 2x 8GB Kit. Simple as that.

I know Cinema 4D's hair render takes up quite a bit of RAM. Do some rendering with 16GB and see if you're maxing it out.

If you're asking, you probably don't need 32GB ram. There are few graphics designers that have a workflow or project heavy where 16GB ram isn't enough and 32Gb ram is necessary. 

To be sure, it would help to describe the type and scale of the projects you work on.

^this seems like the best option

Unless your PSD files are a gigabyte+ you won't need that much ram
