Unless you're doing heavy video editing, 3d rendering etc. You don't need that much ram to begin with. ( Assuming your GPU is good too ) ( Yes there are plenty more instances where you would need more RAM, but I don't feel like listing them to prove a point ). That being said the computer can't function without disk space. Sooo.. I would say get a bigger SSD if that is all you have or.. just purchase a Western Digital Blue 1TB for $45.00 USD.

I have 16GB of RAM and it's fine for me. It's decent enough to let me listen to music, watch Netflix and play Just Cause 3 at the same time. Not to mention I record while doing all of that. It uses up 90% but that's fine. I'd go with the SSD if you need it.

I have a problem with people. The only things I like are 787Bs and PCs.

I would recommend getting an HDD for all of your non-gaming related files.

I don't need a wd 1 the cuz I have 4 tb of storage high speed load timing is what I need but again I play vr games as well. As far as the GPU goes I am a 1080 p gamer and have a gtx 1060 6 GB which is enough as I have a 75hz monitor only. So do I get ram for the vr stuff?

If you have 4TB of storage, what did you fill your SSD with?

In any case, get another SSD, 16GB of RAM is fine.

Ssd is filled with games which require fast loading time and have a lot of loading screens like dark souls while hhd is filled with games like far cry 5 and GTA 5 which only load up once every use.
