32GB RAM is enough for gaming, streaming, and a Discord bot.

No, 64GB is overkill for this setup.

Here’s the deal: modern games rarely use more than 16GB of RAM, even with Discord and OBS open. OBS might eat another 1-2GB for encoding buffers, and a Discord bot is practically negligible — maybe a few hundred MB. You’re looking at 20-22GB total under heavy load, which leaves you plenty of headroom with 32GB.

64GB starts making sense if you’re also running a local AI model, spinning up multiple VMs, or editing 4K video while gaming. For just gaming + streaming + a bot? That’s overkill and wasted money that could go toward a better GPU or faster storage.

If you’re future-proofing, 32GB is still the sweet spot for the next few years. Games aren’t suddenly jumping to 32GB minimums anytime soon.

Save the cash. Put it toward a GPU upgrade.
