Do I need more than 16 gigs of ram for ANYTHING in the next five years?

[Dorian Breh]

I bought a Samsung 960 Evo NVMe drive as well, will I be pissing away money if I bought another 16 gig ram set?

It is, does your computer run slow? games not performing well?

Haven't built this thing yet, wondering if I should buy 32 gigs before I assemble it. I got the high end NVMe ssd as well, will more ram make things any faster?

16 should be enough

if you ain't running 64GB ddrr 2400 oil cooled ram you ain't shyt

I think 16 should be enough though. i would personally get 32gb so i don't have to upgrade for even longer

32 gigs should be the baseline of desktops right now

16 should be ok for right now

16 should be good and plenty unless you're planning on running VMs and video processing and recording WHILE you game lol.

~16 should be fine for most things, It's not like you trying to do advanced calculations.
