I aim to boost my RAM capacity to its highest possible level. My current setup is 64 GB, but I think that’s the top speed I can achieve. I’m planning to purchase more RAM and wondered if this would be beneficial. My CPU is an i7-8700 and the motherboard is B360M-A.

For a gaming PC there's not a reason to have more than 16GB. What's the PC for? I noticed in your sig you have a 1060 3gb, why not spend the money that would go towards ram on a new GPU instead?

Even 4K resolution doesn’t require 64GB. For gaming, at least 8GB should suffice. Just pick a GPU like the RTX SUPER.
