For gaming, 64GB of RAM itself is totally overkill. 16GB for gaming is going to be plenty for years to come. For video editing, 64GB is also a bit overkill. I think the workstations LinusMediaGroup uses only use 32GB of RAM (except Ed's machine). For me, 256GB is completely un-necessary even for servers running virtual machines.

The average desktop (even for gaming) does not need more than 16GB. And unless you do a lot of heavy video editing, you won't need even 32GB. Benefits? Are you running a render farm? RAM and RAM speed has not been a system bottleneck in over a decade. SQL Server Nomnomnom.

If you’re using one of the best video editing softwareprograms like Premiere Pro to edit and render 4K videos, you’ll want 32GB of RAM at a minimum. The same is true for recording and editing audio and photo editing in Photoshop, especially if you have multiple files open at once.
