16 is more practical for gaming so that's what I got.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Depends on what you're doing, for example I would love to get 32GB for my occasional video editing and image editing, but the amount of times I would actually need it, don't outweigh the 180 euros I would be paying for additional RAM, causing me to stay with my 16GB of current RAM.

That's 1 point for 16GB. 

I currently have 16GB but I noticed that I'm getting 56% usage adding more might help my system perform better... What do you think?

Lowering your usage amount doesn't improve performance

16 for normal gaming and normal tasks. 

 

32 for multi-tasking with various programs. (using PS, a video editing software, rendering, etc.)

Bros, sorry for my ignorance i'm a total noob in specs and compatibility. Would this fit well on a Z170A motherboard?

I personally tend to go with more than I need when building for myself, but recommend what is needed when helping others lol.  So DDR4 3000 32GB gets my vote.
