I appreciate your guidance on upgrading my system. I was wondering if it’s possible to add another 16GB of RAM, specifically an 8x2 configuration. Also, are there any users who are using PCI Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSDs with the MSI Z490 Gaming Edge Wi-Fi? Your advice is really helpful.

Intel hasn't yet backed Gen 4 PCIe, so adding it would be similar to using Gen 3. The board can handle it, but the CPU won't. Rocket Lake might work, but you'd still need a compatible CPU. For RAM, stick with the exact same kit to avoid issues.
