Win 11 Upgrade Question - RAM
Post Flair (click to view more posts with a particular flair)
Post Body

I am looking at upgrading my current desktop (AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, GTX 1060, and the the following RAM):

Kingston HyperX Fury White 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4, 2133MHz, Unbuffered, 14-14-14, 1.2V (4 sticks total for 32 GB)

I will carry over:

My power supply (Strider Plus) 600w

My SSD (Samsung 512gb)

Hard drive (WD Blue 2 TB)

Cooler (Corsair Liquid AIO)

Case (Corsair 350D)

My question is: What would be the pros / cons of upgrading or keeping my RAM? I mostly use my computer for work, emails, and a large number of chrome tabs. My partner does casual gaming but not AA titles. It seems a shame to throw out 32GB of ram but if I will see significant improvement, maybe I will. I will be getting a recent Ryzen 5 CPU on an AM3 motherboard.

Any advice appreciated. I don't really understand RAM at all.
