16gb or 32gb

So i have 16gb of ddr4 3000mhz c15 ram now and im thinking about adding another 16gb as the prices seem to be creeping down.
Is it worth my while adding the extra 16gb?

My cpu in a ryzen 2600 and i have a vega 56 if that makes any difference.

Not for gaming. Save coins for next gpu upgrade.

I've got a spare 16GB that I could plug into my machine but I've never seen my RAM usage hit 16GB so I just CBA with it.

Only if you're going to use it.

Only game I can think of is Cities Skylines modded. Otherwise, no.

I've got 32GB, but purely because of OCD and the empty slots were driving me nuts

As others have said, for normal gaming it's really not required yet.

filling up those pcie lanes as well must be expensive

I'm honestly surprised no one has made RGB blanking covers for PCIe slots yet

16GB is still fine, if I was buying a new system I would still get 16Gb rather than spend extra for 32GB which might also be slower.

16gb all the way if its for gaming
