I'm building a new PC and currently have 4 sticks of HyperX Fury, totaling 32GB (4x8GB) with a speed of 3200 MHz. I'm considering getting a Ryzen 5 5600X CPU. My question is whether it's bad to stick with all 4 RAM sticks or if I should sell them and switch to a 2x16GB kit instead. I'm looking for some honest feedback on this.

There's no hard rule against using 4 sticks, especially if they're on the qualified list for your motherboard. For the AM4 platform, it generally works well. I've got a Ryzen 7 5800X3D running 64GB with 3600 MT/s C16 and no issues at all. Just make sure you're using compatible memory!
What’s it like having 4 sticks? Do you notice any difference?
