You currently have 16 GB of RAM, but you're concerned about potential issues. Switching to another 16 GB would be a reasonable upgrade if you expect heavy usage. A 32 GB option isn't necessarily overkill, especially if you plan to run more demanding applications or future-proof your system. Since you mainly use gaming and browsing, the current setup should suffice unless performance becomes an issue.

32GB seems too much for just gaming and browsing; a quicker 16GB would suffice.

It seems like you're asking about whether 16GB of storage is sufficient and what might be the issue if it isn't. Could you clarify the context or provide more details?

Based on the games you play, 16GB could be insufficient. For instance, Minecraft might need only 10GB of memory just to function. If you also plan to run a local server for friends, you'll require around 32GB. Although currently 16GB should suffice for most tasks, it may not be enough as technology advances. You might want to avoid upgrading to 32GB now, but if you purchase a future model with DDR5, definitely think about 32GB of RAM.

High RAM consumption even when not running... sometimes it freezes briefly when opening a folder. I suspect the issue isn’t with the hard drive, since I’ve used multiple HDDs and one is new. It’s likely a memory problem.

16 GB provides ample capacity for both gaming and regular tasks. Even 8 GB works well in many situations.

For casual use of tools such as DAZ3D or Blender, 16GB should suffice. Video editing or rendering?

In Windows Task Manager you can view the total RAM available and identify processes consuming significant memory. Checking for recent updates ensures your system runs smoothly with the latest improvements.

The issue lies with the HDD. The SSD offers a better alternative.

What level of performance matters most to you? Running Windows 10 64-bit can consume around 4 to 5GB when idle, and usage rises further with background applications like a web browser.
