16GB vs 32GB RAM: 16GB is still plenty for gaming, 32GB only matters for heavy multitasking or pro workloads

16GB is still plenty for gaming, even with a few background apps—you won’t see higher FPS going from 16 to 32GB at the same speed. The extra RAM just means you can have more stuff open before swapping. Where you’d actually notice 32GB: video editing, large data sets, VMs, or fifty Chrome tabs while gaming. Save the money unless you know you’ll use it.
