Is 32GB RAM worth it for Cities: Skylines and Minecraft?

Yes, but only if you’re playing modded Cities: Skylines or Minecraft with a hundred mods. Vanilla Minecraft only needs 16GB, but Cities: Skylines is a memory hog—once your city hits 100,000 citizens with mods, 16GB gets eaten fast, causing stutter. 32GB gives breathing space and eliminates that stutter. For Minecraft, stick with 16GB unless you’re running massive modpacks or pre-generating huge worlds.
