Currently using Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 RAM. I'm considering an upgrade for several reasons... I don't need RGB, so I want to minimize the interior lighting. I already turn off the RGB now. Increasing capacity would be ideal. My first child is handling more complex calculations on this machine; his school laptop isn't keeping up with the coursework. I have two extra slots available, so upgrading again might be feasible... or should I go for 16GB DIMMs to retain those slots and allow future upgrades? I'm wondering if I'll stick with this path or switch to a newer AMD model eventually. For suggestions on suitable non-RGB RAM, Dark Alpha seems to have positive feedback. Crucial offers a non-RGB Ballistix Corsair variant, but it's from Corsair. Would appreciate any advice if you can respond. Thanks!

Corsair Vengeance LPVX has consistently performed well for me. Adding two extra 8GB DIMM slots would be a nice upgrade, though the 16GB modules would also suffice. The black ones look quite subtle too.
