I'm considering upgrading my RAM and found a great deal on Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 running at 6400 MHz for $120. Currently, I have a DDR4 3200 MHz setup with 2x8GB, and I've never felt the need for more RAM so far. Should I spend the extra cash and go for the bigger capacity, or could I save money by opting for a smaller 2x8GB DDR5 kit instead? My main use case is gaming, with some competitive titles as well as mostly single-player and open-world games.

UPDATE: I had a friend drive me to pick this up (he has an AM5 system to test it out). The RAM checked out perfectly—never been overclocked or used, and I ran benchmarks without any issues!
That's a really solid deal, and I doubt the price will drop much. I'd say just go for it!
Check prices in Mexico; you might find an even better deal!
Definitely go for the 32GB while you can. It'll keep you set up well into the next decade!
32GB is the way to go! And once you get it, you should definitely share where you found that deal!
You can't use DDR5 RAM with a DDR4 motherboard, so are you planning a new build? If so, grab that RAM while it's still available—it's an awesome price!
Yes, I'm upgrading! I'm considering going with a higher-end AM4 setup since I currently have a low-end MSI 1660ti and Ryzen 3 3300x, but I want to future-proof my next build.
