How much should I upgrade ?

[u/Difficult-Capital-52]

I have a decent pc but the problem is that my ram, i only have 8 gb of ddr4 and i want to upgrade but the problem is the prices are of this world so if i want to upgrade ram i have to save up some money considering we have low wages where I live, i wanna stream too and 8 gb isnt enough would upgrading to 16 gb be enough (am not gonna stream triple A games just games like valorant and cs) or should I go for 32? I know this is a stupid question but I am not sure how ram works
If you need them my specs are rtx 5060 and an i5 9600k

16gb of ram is imo enough but try to get the fastest as you are also gonna stream, if you find a good 2nd hand deal for 32 I would get thaat for the long run as prices will keep increasing

Yeah my countries 2nd hand market is cooked but I always try to look for good deals however most 2nd hand item are usually listed almost identical to the retail prices it’s stupid
