16GB is still fine for esports.

No. Valorant and CS2 barely break a sweat on 16GB. You’ll hit CPU limits long before you run out of RAM.

Those games are built to run on decade-old hardware. 32GB only helps if you’re also streaming, running a bunch of Chrome tabs, or doing something else memory-heavy while you play. If you’re just grinding competitive matches, you’re buying capacity you won’t use.

Put that money toward a better monitor or a faster SSD instead. Future you will thank you.
