Hello! For a game developer and casual gamer, choosing between 16GB and 32GB RAM depends on your needs. If you plan to run demanding games or work with large projects, 32GB is usually better. For everyday use and lighter workloads, 16GB can suffice. Consider what you'll be doing most often!

It's entirely dependent on usage. The go-to knowledge rn as far as I can tell is that if you have 16 there's no reason to upgrade yet, but if you're building a new system it's probably advisable to go with 32 if you don't mind spending it to avoid needless upgades. Especially if you're gonna be doing any 3d modeling, developement is a very broad topic, so I'm not sure where you're at with it. If you can afford it, go with a 32GB (2 x 16GB dimms) kit.

This depends on your usage and PC performance. For instance, running games often requires many open tabs and files. You mentioned needing 32GB of storage, which is important since you frequently reach the 16GB limit. Join the discussion!
