Hey everyone! I've got an i9-14900k paired with an RTX 5070 TI on a Z790P MSI motherboard, running 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD. My RAM runs at 6000 MHz, but the performance seems a bit on the low side at about 3500/2800 MB. I've got a $200 Best Buy gift card that's about to expire, so I'm wondering how best to use it. Would it be smarter to add 4x16 GB of RAM or 2x32 GB? Also, if I upgrade to a new SSD with speeds around 6000-7000 MB, will it sync well with my current setup? Thanks for any tips!

You might not actually need more RAM unless you're really pushing your system. For gaming, 32 GB is still pretty standard. If you’ve noticed your RAM usage getting high during play or have heavy multitasking habits, then it might be worth considering an upgrade. But if not, you could just enjoy your current setup without spending extra cash!
That's good to know! I guess I'll hold off on RAM upgrades then.
