Hey guy just wanted to ask for your opinion. I've had my PC for a long time now and one thing that I think I overpaid for was the ram. No overpaid more like overkill I got a 4x8 kit 32gb corsair vengeance white led ram. I do light editing but most of the time im playing csgo...more pubg these days and a bit of rise of the tomb raider. I only edit 1080p 60fps 50bitrate and I don't feel like my PC is fully utilising all the ram do you guys think I should sell half of it and stick with 16gb this PC should last me for the next 5 years. Then again I might build a new one later with 2 of 3 years. Should I keep 32 or sell half...will any game actually benefit from more than 32...I got a deal for 150$ CAD.

 

i7 6700k

Strix 1080 

Led 32gb ram ddr4

....

My PC is a fast boyo:

6700K - 32GB - 1080 - 256GB EVO

^^You don't need more info than this right?^^

I think you should definitely sell it.   To me.  For like $20  :P

 

For real though, that's a tough call.  If you could use the money, then do it.  If not, then keep it, it's not hurting anything being in there.

If you don't need it, sell it.

With 16gb my memory fills up when playing 4k clips inside premiere, but not in 1080.

I definitely need more than 16gb, but i'll wait till memory price drops, or buy from your for $30. :ph34r:

For lite editing and games 16gb is enough.
