I’m putting together a computer and everything else is set. A friend suggested going up to 32 GB instead of the 16 GB I originally planned. He uses his machines differently and works professionally, so I didn’t really consider it at first. Now I’m wondering if the extra memory is worth the higher cost. Are there any games that require 32 GB or will demand it soon? I’m not a big gamer anymore, but I intend to keep this setup for about five to seven years.
Only playing games and basic chores isn't enough. Doing creative work such as video editing, streaming, or managing VMs makes it worthwhile. It really depends on how you intend to use it.
Others have mentioned the situation, but the choice really depends on your needs. Right now, the only game demanding 32GB of RAM is Microsoft Flight Simulator, while many others can run it smoothly on 16GB.
