I own a Ryzen 7 3700X with a GTX 1060 6GB graphics card, an 8GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz RAM stick, and an Aorus B450 Elite M.2 slot. Mostly I use this configuration for music production and YouTube video editing, but my 8GB RAM is becoming less effective with more demanding tasks. My budget is about £90 (around $110), and I’m deciding whether to buy a 16GB 3000MHz RAM stick or an additional 8GB stick. I’m wondering if mixing sizes makes sense and whether my processor can handle 24GB instead of the current setup. Also, should I consider other factors before making a choice?

You might consider optimizing your existing RAM instead of swapping it out.

You need the precise same kind of RAM to avoid problems and prevent mismatches, which would cause issues.
