Hey people. 

I haven't posted here in a while. 

My rig is currently a 5800X on an Asus Prime X570-Pro, a 3070 and 16gb of ram @ 3000mhz. I use an nvme drive as boot drive and a combo of sata ssds and an hdd for massive storage. 

The rig has remained the same since I upgraded to the 5800X and 3070 in 2020. It does play my games mostly fine at 1440p with the exception being maybe Helldivers 2. It gets to 40-50 FPS on the most chaotic scenes. 

The rig also chuggs when I use Adobe Lightroom. 

I'm not really in a position to upgrade most of it right now, so in order to bring performance back a little, I thought I could switch my 16gb of 3000mhz ram for 32 or 64 of 3600mhz ram. This will allow me to use the Infinity Fabric at the highest rated speed 1800 MHZ instead of the current 1500. This should improve my 1% lows in HD2 by a little margin, and help Lightroom run better as it currently maxes out my 16gb. 

Am I crazy for wanting to upgrade my ram for a bit of performance in the 1% lows of CPU intensive games and make 1 photo editing program work well? 

The RAM would cost me about $75. I can get a  32 gb kit of G Skill Trident Z 3600mhz cl18 for $75. I can probably make back 20-35 bucks from selling my current kit too. 

What do you guys think?
