Choose between a 4x8GB or a 2x16GB storage option.
Your system has a Ryzen 7 7800X3D with 16GB RAM and a 3200MHz clock speed. Adding 32GB of RAM would be beneficial, but you should consider whether 4x8GB or 2x16GB fits your needs. Purchasing a kit of two 16GB modules from the same brand as your current RAM is a good option. You can also utilize the other slots on your motherboard for additional components. Aiming for 48GB total would require careful planning to ensure compatibility and performance.
Aim for the maximum capacity using the fewest DIMMs possible in a gaming PC. This reduces compatibility issues and ensures you get the performance you expect. For example, if you need 48GB, you can now find 2x24GB configurations.
DDR5 supports 8GB modules clearly, allowing up to 2x16 6000 CL30 or comparable. G. Skill has some insight on this.
