32GB is an ideal amount of RAM for a gaming PC. It’s also a good beginning point for professional photo/video editors (though the larger the capacity, the better, especially for video editors working with 4K and up resolutions).
Likewise, individuals – whether gamers or photo/video editors – who have a lot of programs running in the background, 32GB or even up to 128GB may be more practical. Gaming PCs are built to handle a wide array of content that requires heavy processing power. Similarly, photo and video editing software require the same amount of power to process video in real time and edit at granular levels.
Another similarity between the RAM needs of gamers and photo/video editors is speed, as it determines how fast critical information is accessed. In both instances as you’d expect, the higher the speed, the better the performance.
The final RAM similarity between the two is DIY capability. While both groups can easily buy off-the-shelf or order a custom-built machine to meet their needs, many gamers and photo/video editors are adventuresome types and enjoy building their own computer. For these individuals, adding RAM is easy.
