Posted November 10, 2017 I don't understand the question? Are you asking if you need another 16GB of RAM in addition to the 16 you have?

Posted November 10, 2017 I assume your question is "Do I need more than 16GB for gaming". To answer that question - yes. It is plenty for the moment, going beyond 16GB will have little impact on gaming performance. Instead, I would recommend spending a little extra to get RAM with a faster speed e.g 3000Mhz.

Usually 8GB is enough but if you can spring for another 8 and have 16 then you'll be set for a long time.

Posted November 10, 2017 If you are playing one game at a time ... 8GB is not a problem. But you won't be able to have a lot of other programs opened at the same time. And when I said "playing 1 game at a time" ... I have 5 clients opened for some games and you can't get that with only 8GB ram Intel i7 12700K | Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X DDR4 | Pure Loop 240mm | G.Skill 3200MHz 32GB CL14 | CM V850 G2 | RTX 3070 Phoenix | Lian Li O11 Air mini Samsung EVO 960 M.2 250GB | Samsung EVO 860 PRO 512GB | 4x Be Quiet!
