It varies by game, but it should work fine. In reality, investing heavily in a CPU usually means having enough RAM—around 32GB—to boost performance. Also, note that RAM speed is expressed in MHz, not Hz.

The processor doesn't affect memory usage. However, it does matter. Your current activity level impacts performance. For ages 14 and above, aim for 32; lower ages can handle 16.

It's accurate that you don't need 32GB.
