I run a Minecraft Server that's going to be public. I have 16gb of ram, but it's not enough. It uses 14gb of ram while running. So should I upgrade to 32gb?

Yes, it wouldn't hurt to upgrade to 32 GB of ram. Could I please have the motherboard you are currently using so that I can find appropriate ram for your computer? Thanks.

I have an ASRock Z77 Pro 4. I'm currently using Corsair Vengeance RAM.

Alright, I would recommend getting this ram:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($284.99 @ Best Buy)
Total: $284.99
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

I say that because they are a really good company that makes good ram. I hope this helped. Good luck and that's great that you're getting 32 GB of ram. :)
