I'm looking to upgrade my PC's RAM from 16GB to 32GB. I currently have 16GB of 3200MHz RAM paired with an RTX 3060 Ti and a Ryzen 5 5600 on a Gigabyte motherboard. I'm curious if there are specific things I need to check before making the upgrade. I often stream and have noticed that my RAM usage can spike to around 80-90%, which causes some lag in games. I'm hoping that increasing the RAM will improve performance, but I'm unsure if it's compatible or even necessary. Here's the link to the RAM kit I'm considering: [Amazon Link].

Before you upgrade, think about what you're trying to achieve. If you're streaming and hitting high RAM usage, upgrading to 32GB could definitely help smooth things out. It sounds like your setup is pretty solid already! Just make sure to buy a matching 2x16GB kit for the best performance.
Thanks for the heads-up! I want to ensure everything works well together.
