You're considering switching from 16GB to 32GB RAM while your current setup uses VENGEANCE® LED sticks. Since those are sold in pairs (2x8GB), you might be able to combine them into a larger configuration. Check if the same speed (3.000MT/s) and voltage (1,35V) work with two sticks at that speed. A CAS latency of 16 is acceptable for most systems. If possible, it could be better than buying a new kit, but confirm compatibility before proceeding.

Typically combining RAM isn't ideal for speed. But it usually functions in most situations. A quicker RAM will simply operate at lower speeds. I recall a video by Linus showing various RAM combinations working fine.
