Considering your budget, upgrading to 16GB 3600 DDR4 might offer more performance without the higher cost of a larger capacity. It balances speed and value well for gaming.

Ensure your motherboard can handle 3600MHz. You only need 32 GBs of RAM if you're working with video editing or recording.

I believe you're all set and don't require an upgrade. Increasing RAM won't boost your FPS by more than 5% unless your CPU is a bottleneck. You'll only see the benefits of 32GB if you're genuinely utilizing it. Unless you're running extremely modded titles, you probably won't need that much space.

Typically, a more powerful graphics card provides the greatest enhancement.

No need to boost RAM, gaming doesn't require more space and the CPU won't operate at 3600MHz with extra memory. Possibly the board or power supply is the issue.

What RAM model do you have? Can it be boosted to 3200 MHz?

I reached a limit of 3000. Attempted 3200 but it didn't start up.
