[SOLVED] Ryzen 3 3200g: What RAM size is best?

[mejiarudymel18]

my pc is currently:

Ryzen 3 3200g 3.5ghz w/ vega graphics
Asus TUF B450m+ gaming
currently using 1 stick of 8gb DDR4 2666

what is the best RAM size should i use? (i use my pc mainly work related -microsoft office, msteams, zoom, and sometimes light gaming). I do not have problems with my current build, but i want to experience the best performance of my current pc (if possible)

I also use a 450watt true rated psu, is this enough? ot should id replace it with a higher wattage?
Thank you!

450w psu is plenty. And honestly if you're using your computer for light gaming for example league of legends, dota2, sims 4, roblox, minecraft, terraria, etc. You should be fine where it is... But if you were looking for more gaming performance I'd recommend a 1660 (1660 is a pretty low power consumption card 120w so that'd allow you to keep your current psu without needing to upgrade), and just adding another 8GB stick of ram.

These days, 16GB seems to be the default - get a 2x8gb kit for better efficiency.
For Ryzen 3000MHz or more helps.
You need to make sure that any kit you choose is on your motherboard memory QVL - https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-B450M-PLUS-GAMING/HelpDesk_QVL/
Find something that is good for your budget.

450W should be fine. Make sure it's a good quality PSU though - see https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/
