It's a valid point—with Windows 11 coming soon, we can't predict its full impact yet, especially for gaming. Right now, it might function adequately, but we don’t have enough clarity on what the update entails. I can only share my own perspective and preferences. Personally, I anticipate changes once Windows 11 becomes widespread and games are optimized for it, which would likely require more RAM than today’s standards. A 32GB option would be beneficial in the long run, regardless of current limitations.
Most 16GB bundles are 2x8, meaning single-rank memory which works slower than dual-rank. Plus, running multiple apps or a browser while gaming can quickly hit near 16GB usage. I’d suggest 16GB is enough, but 32GB would be more than sufficient.
