Do I need more than 16 gigs of ram for ANYTHING in the next five years?

[spliz]

32 gigs should be the baseline of desktops right now

Nah. Not true at all. Lol.

mafukkas stay using extremes to make examples on here..




and 16 should be fine for now, but EA seems to be the company that pushes the envelope as far as requirements go for PC games. When EA starts to make 16 GB recommended specs, then its time to upgrade. They'll be 1st to make it standard (why -- I have no idea, just seems over the past 15 years, EA seems to have higher recommended specs on average than other companies and then other companies follow after -- only on this particular subject though)

Get the maximum amount of RAM you feel comfortable in getting, pricing wise.

32GB would be a sweet spot.

if 16GB is too much for your prebuilt just buy a console

want the pc gamer label while half-assing it

Nobody is really using 16gbs like that in 2017, the most you'll see is 8gbs or 4gbs

I've had InDesign chug a few times when using my 16gb desktop at work.

my monitor probably cost more than your video card fukk outta here bytch mafukka extra 16 GB is like $120, its just not needed

 

[Two Stacks]

i'd definitely get 32gb. computers age fast af

 

[The Guru]

By the time you need 32 it'll be much cheaper to buy the extra 16 than it is now.

Just buy the 16gb of RAM now then buy the extra 16 later. If you're just playing games 16gbs is more than enough
