My son wants the impossible to get Nintendo Classic

Don't buy that much RAM, trust me.

Buy 2 sticks of better-rated RAM for the same money.  Unless you are rendering 3D graphics, processing video files, and playing the newest video games all at the same time, you'll never need more than 16Gb.

/2 cents from a programmer and video editor who has never used more than about 10Gb max.

We're going a little off-topic here but I promise this is the last off-topic post I'll make in this topic.

There was a time when 1GB RAM was big, enormous, huge, enough for anything and everything. Nowadays 1GB RAM ain't enough for anything, not even for the OS, let alone for a decent web browser. Nowadays 8GB is somewhat enough. So additional RAM is never redundant. I already got one stick of 8GB DDR3 RAM and I'm gonna buy 3 more in the coming year. For the things I'm gonna use the computer (gaming's just one of the things) 32GB will be perfect: virtual machines, music making programs (one of which requires 8GB available RAM), visual studio for programming.
