It all depends on what you do with the system, if your a high end gamer or programer etc 32g's if you an entry level person low end games not very demanding for n the system 16g's

How much ram do you need?
32gb or 16gb?
All else equal, more is better, particularly if you are heavily multitasking.
A single game only should be fine with 16gb.

Technically all ram faster than default(2666 or possibly 3200) needs to be overclocked with added voltage to be able to run at 3600 or 4000.

Certainly, 32gb of 4000 speed will cost more.
Intel performance will not be much different with either speed.

If in doubt, buy a compromise 32gb of 3600 speed.
You may notice that some kits are more expensive than others of the same speed.
That is because the latency(cas) spec will be lower for the higher priced kits, giving a bit more performance.

Alrights thank u, but is 16gb enough for coding too? Im planning to use it for gaming/coding.Cheers!

for gaming 16GB is plenty enough
for coding...that depends....if you code in python, then you dont need any ram at all xD
jokes aside, cpu is more important than ram

ooo ic thanks man, sorry if im a noob for this

32GB DDR4-4000, even if the DDR4-3600 kit had better OC chips, I don't think any OC with that hardware combo would be worth more than having the extra capacity. If you run low on capacity, maximum frequency and low memory latency is irrelevant, the system will lag.

16 gig

If your planning on coding then your probably going to expand your horizon a little in the middle of doing so most people get curious and want to start trying out other things and that's fine but the more ram you have for certain things helps, but that being said having to much ram for other stuff can also be bad. It all depends on you the user,
