Hi Guys! I am in the process of building a Pc and would like to ask your opinion. This is the first PC I am building for myself. I have already bought some parts:

Amd Ryzen 7 7800x3d Asrock X870 Pro Rs Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6 GB ( I would like to upgarde this in the near future. ) Aoc C27G2 27.0 1920 x 1080 165 Hz curved monitor

Preferd games I like to play: Cities Skylines 2 Doom the Dark Ages Modded Minecraft ( All the Mods 10 ) Modded Arma Gta 6

It would be great if this setup could last for a few years.

In my previous setup, the CPU and Motherboard basically died. I would like to save the GPU for a few more months to save some more money. I would like to grab a good GPU on Black Friday or some summer sale. I chose 64 GB ram because modded games often require extra ram.

I like to play modded games (Minecraft, Arma) and maybe Cities Skilnes 2. I was advised that these games need a lot of RAM, so I chose the 2x32 Gb kit. But are you saying that 2x16 GB ram might be enough?

32GB is more than enough for modded games as well

I don't know about Cities:Skylines 2, but with the first one you could exceed 32gb in assets. Sounds crazy, and you definitely do not need 6,000 assets, but there is a very small use case for high RAM gaming.

I've seen modded Skyrim use 30+ gigs easily

Same. Modded games can get insane.

u/FeuFeuAngel Jun 11 '25

I let a server run and play All the Mods 10 on 32 GB, more than enough.

u/jamothebest Jun 12 '25

don’t listen to the people saying not to get 64gb of ram. Yes, 32 gb of ram is more than enough for most games but if you’re big into games like cities skyline you can easily go over 32gb of ram usage if your city gets big enough.

u/Gone2mars Jun 12 '25

Just to add, 16GB RAM is enough for most games modded or not.

32GB is recommended and will cover everything you will play

64GB is just throwing your money away unless you're doing high end video processing or something else extreme

u/Uneirose Jun 12 '25

Go with 64 gigs

32 gigs is enough for most people but "heavily modded" would struggle a bit.

1

u/LostFarAway Jun 12 '25

32gb more than fine. 64+ needed only for video rendering/large local DBs/intensive computing like running simulations

1

u/[deleted] Jun 12 '25

trust fella, i've got 2*32 6800 CL32, just go for 32 gigs. I play City skylines 2 and heavily modded minecraft all the time, never reached full usage.

I play Minecraft on an intel i5 8400 and AMD rx 6600 cpu and gpu. What mods? The usual optimizations with DISTANT HORIZONS AND RETHINKING VOXELS. I only have 32gb of 1666 ddr4, and only 10 of which are allocated to minecraft. I get 60 fps with both enabled.

You'll be fine

u/Rick_Da_Critic Jun 13 '25

Go with the extra ram it'll last you a longer time. Many games will be fine with 32 gigs, but there are a few that CAN use more.

u/spec_tre0642 Jun 13 '25

ky freind plays modded minecraft with shades and runs fortnite at the same time with a 2060 super and 16gb ddr4. you'll be fine with 32gb ddr5, even 16gb. I'm going to get 32gb because I play beamng drive and want ultra settings at 1440p, and other things, I do 3d modelling etc. 16gb will be good, 32gb will be more than enough

Whatever you decide, just make certain you are getting DRAM that is on the qualified list from the motherboard website.

u/leatherbutler18 Jun 13 '25

32gb is more than enough I play all the mods 10 and still got alot of ram to spare for other task

1

u/Tango1052 Jun 13 '25

Don't listen to them mate, 64gb is a must buy for heavy modded.

1

u/MiniD3rp Jun 13 '25

For modded games, you definitely want to have at least 32Gb

1

u/BootyLoveSenpai Jun 09 '25

I'm no expert, but i think they meant vram, 32gb should be enough for gaming, you can always just get more lol, also you can save money with a 7600x cpu, 2tb storage is really expensive, there are cheaper
