Your example makes absolutely no sense. I don't think you should be giving recommendations on what works/what doesn't. Also future proofing is completely ineffective. You will want to upgrade to faster more modern memory, not more, in a few years; DDR7 presumably.

16GB is still fine for the vast majority of PCs especially for your average user. 32GB however is very cheap currently so it's easy enough to justify just going for it. If you're a gamer who plays games that want large amounts of memory, you may want to go to 32 instead of 16. If you're a productivity/workstation based user, heavy design work, developer, databases, virtual machines, etc, then yes absolutely go for 32 and potentially 64 depending on your needs.

Linux, Windows, MacOS use dynamic memory management where just because you see high memory usage, it doesn't mean you need to upgrade. They cache, buffer, page, preload anticipated data... very complex operations that utilize whatever is available and then release it as necessary for the system to continue to run optimally.

Quote from Jared4 :
16 GB is enough for the average PC user who just surfs the internet and maybe streams some video. If you are using 16gb of RAM with 5 tabs in a browser open, there is something wrong with your rig. I'm using 13 GB right now with my work laptop. It's got Outlook, 37 Firefox tabs, OneNote, WinSQL and a RDP session open in mRemoteNG. Plus a ton of background monitoring/management applications. Plus a lot of that RAM is cached.
And that person will be buying a $300 DELL, not building their own system. RAM is so cheap it's silly to build with 16gb.

Is this better than the i7 265K?
No. The I7 is better in every way.

I had my PC crash frequently playing cod due to only 16 GB of memory. This was in 2020. So if cod could crash it 5 years ago then it certainly can now, buy an extra stick. Good deal though!
What methodology did you use to determine that RAM capacity was the problem?

Adding only 1 stick would good up dual channel mode I think 🤔 They should do 2 sticks, if any

This deal has changed and the processor is no longer being paired with memory but with a 500GB SSD (Patriot P400 Lite M.2 PCIe Gen 4 x4 500GB SSD, Solid State Drive)
