I am upgrading my PC with a i7-7700k, an ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero, and Corsair Vengeance LPX, but I don't know if I should buy 32gb (4x8gb) or 16gb (2x8gb). Both are 3000Mhz. Is it worth the extra $150 for the 32gb? I will be playing high quality games, sometimes while streaming. I wanted to know if i even need 32 or if 16 is plenty.
 
Solution
Given you're streaming, 32GB is worth considering if you're running some intensive games.
What's your current RAM kit? If it's 16GB just get another one of that exact kit.
