I am deciding between a set of 2x8 16GB Ram or a 2x4 8GB Ram. I want to be able to livestream, so I don't know which to buy. Even though 16GB puts a strain on my budget, I want to be future-proof.
Thanks in advance.

Are you referring to the Livestream app, or just live streaming over the internet?

If you're going to be streaming live from your location, I'd go with the 16GB. Streaming static data isn't as memory intensive of a process so it would be less of an issue if that were the case but streaming live data involves pretty much all your hardware and can require each component to make use of system RAM at a higher degree. A lot depends on what applications you're using as well but if you can afford the 16GB I'd say it's a good investment in this case. If you were just gaming it might not be as important.

16 GB will always be future proof and your works needs more than 8 GB. Go for the 16 GB RAM sticks.
