Reply to comment by KremlinHoosegaffer in That's my computer information.Do I have a Gaming PC? by ChevanLee

I have my browser, Discord and Steam opened at the same time as the game I'm playing and 16 GB is plenty, maybe in 1-2 years 32 GB will start being useful but for now it's not needed. With that said I'll do a bit of research.

Edit : there are between 1 and 5 games that currently have the possibility to use that much and to run them you already need a pretty beefy PC to run them, having 32 GB in a powerful PC doesn't surprise me at all. For the average consumer, 16 GB is still enough, in a year or two maybe that'll change

Absolutely @ your edit. It's all a matter of preferences. I just find I get a better deal by biting the bullet upfront and building a beefy machine that'll last almost a decade before being replaced (my current rig). But I'm also somebody who has had to suffer with the slowest toaster towers growing up in the 90s and early aughts. Never again.

And I can understand that but I wouldn't recommend 32GB for anyone, for most people it's a waste of money that could have gone in their GPU
