Good day ladies and gentlemen, I'm purchasing the remaining components for my upcoming Ryzen gaming PC build and wondering if 32GB of DDR5 RAM will suffice. I initially intended to buy 64GB, but prices have risen. I plan to play at 4K when possible and at 2K when not. Here are the parts I've already bought:

Please note that this machine is a white build with silver accents.
Corsair Frame 4000D RS ARGB case
Asus ROG Strix X870-A Gaming Wifi
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU
Gigabyte RTX 5070 TI AERO OC 16GB GPU
Corsair Nautilus 360 RS ARGB AIO
NZXT ATX 3.1 1000 Watt 80 Plus Gold PSU

Would 32GB DDR5 RAM be more than enough?

32GB (two 16GB units) is more than sufficient for your requirements.

You don't have to use an X870 chipset motherboard; a B850 board would suffice. If you manage to find a B850 Tomahawk board, it would be a solid choice to invest in. Regarding your RAM, aim for a dual-channel DDR5-6000MHz or DDR5-6000MT/s kit with low latency (CL30). Since you're targeting an AM5 platform, ensure the RAM you choose lists AMD's E.X.P.O on the packaging.
