32GB RAM is the right call for Photoshop and dozens of tabs.

Yes, it will benefit you significantly. Here’s why.

Modern browsers are memory hogs. A dozen tabs with heavy sites (Gmail, Slack, YouTube) can easily eat 8-10GB on their own. Photoshop, especially with large files or layers, will happily take another 6-8GB. Add in Slack, Spotify, or a few more apps, and 16GB becomes a tightrope walk—you’ll hit swap, things slow down, and the beachball appears.

32GB gives you real breathing room. You won’t have to micromanage tabs or close everything before opening a 500MB PSD. The machine stays snappy, and you can work without that “should I close Chrome?” dread. It’s not overkill if you actually do this. It’s just matching the hardware to the workload.

If you’re on a laptop where RAM can’t be upgraded later, even more reason to get 32GB now. Future You will thank you.
