RAM question

[Palaplu]

Better to get what you need now rather than trying to add more later hoping for compatibility. Manufactures won’t guarantee compatibility when mixing kits. And 2 sticks are better than 4 in a dual channel MB so you’d be wasting money anyway.

Will I be needing more than 16GB RAM for gaming (at 1440p) and some browsing,... on the side, in the next 5 years?

i'm going to go slightly off topic, which cpu are you upgrading from (and are you selling)?

I'm upgrading from an i5 4690k, but it's already promised to a friend of mine, sorry man

I've got 24gb of ram but i've yet to see anything really use over 12-14gb, I think if you have tons of ram all it does is let programs be lazy with garbage collection. I think the only scenario that would see me use most of my ram atm is if i were running a modded minecraft server with a bunch of chunk loaders etc.
