Hello BornAd5874, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

Is 32 not the norm now ?
Aecnoril
32 is enough, but in gaming it’s not *a lot*
Skullduggeryyyy
According to Steam Hardware survey around 33 % of gamers use 32gb, 45 % use 16gb and around 10% use 8 gb (rest ist in between or above/below)

Got 32. Never saw it past 20Gb with intense multitasking

Mmm I have a feeling this person doesn’t know how it works. 32gb is plenty. I have 16 and it’s still enough for the stuff I play, even including Firefox with 3 to 4 tabs open in the background. Plus, ram isn’t directly connected to fps. But, full ram may be a symptom of a ton of useless programs running in the background eating up cpu and gpu which will affect fps. Full ram might cause some stutters as the system starts writing to ssd for memory (I have had this with an old laptop that had just 4gb ram and a slow hdd, fun times…. Upgraded that thing within a week as I was done)
*Me with 64 because I bought 2 16s and didn’t want to learn which channels would need to be filled so I bought two more* yeah, Jesus, way overboard, bruh

32 is an absurd amount of RAM.
New games are just poorly optimized.

16 GB is kinda approaching the norm (currently it’s 16G , but there’s plenty with 32). 8 GB is the “barely enough” territory.
It’s plausible to have 32 GB of RAM and say it isn’t an extraordinary amount

Bare minimum for today is quite towards the 128gb if you are using memory intensive software. 32GB could be enough for gaming and productivity.

32gb ram is the bare minimum
Latest Steam survey says:
* 16 GB – 44.41%
* 32 GB – 32.84%
* 8 GB – 9.57%
* 64 GB – 3.94%

32 GB is more than you need kiddo.
