My desktop PC has following configuration

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
ASUS PRIME B450M-A
8Gb Zion ram Blaze 3000Fsb

I like to upgrade RAM to 32 GB.

On Amazon, i found

HyperX Fury 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 Ram CL16 DIMM (Kit of 2) Black Desktop Memory with Low-Profile Heat Spreader
*www.amazon.in/dp/B083Q7Y7ST/
₹ 16,001.00

HyperX Fury 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 DIMM Black XMP Desktop Memory (HX432C16FB3/16)
*www.amazon.in/dp/B07WCQRMWQ/
₹ 6,999.00
₹ 13,998.0 for 2x16G

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4 3200MHZ UDIMM C16 Desktop RAM Memory Module
*www.amazon.in/dp/B07W8ZDDKT/
₹ 6,947.00
₹ 13,894.0 for 2x16G

Item #1 and #2 same? Item #2 looks cheaper, not sure if they are the same model.

Can anyone suggest RAM for my PC?

Thanks, I was thinking of getting 32 GB RAM. If I buy this, that will need 4 sticks, instead of 2. It is better to do that or get 2 * 16 GB RAM?

Go with 2*16GB. There is just tiny difference running 4*8 and 2*16 on Ryzen for common usage. Your mobo supports only dual channel anyway. In case 1 of your memory stick stopped working, I believe changing the set of 2*16GB will be easier than 4*8GB.

@TheSloth yes, having more RAM is difficult if there is some problem. Should i go with RAM -> *www.amazon.in/dp/B083Q7Y7ST/ or there is anything better for similar piece? It is 3200MHz, but says low-profile, does it affect anything?

I will suggest to look on MDComputers, Vedant Computers, PrimeABGB since PC components are costly on Amazon.

Low profile means it is not tall and can fit near a big CPU Cooler. New RGB RAM sticks are taller and hence doesn't support certain configs with a big CPU cooler like Noctua D15. BUT, I am not 100% sure on this. @whitestar_999 @omega44-xt @SaiyanGoku @Nerevarine could you guys confirm what is low profile?

What is your main usage in PC ?

I don't think you need 32 GB of RAM if your primary usage is not resource intensive.

I am using 20GB of RAM (2*8gb + 4gb) and I still find it more than enough. My usage never crossed the 16GB mark

I do video editing once in a while ( mostly less than 15 minutes videos). WIth 8 GB it works, but sometimes during video processing, it asks me to close other applications.

Maybe 16 GB works fine for me. But I was thinking long-term like if I have to upgrade again, I have to buy a full 32 GB to get a matching RAM, which means my current RAM go waste.

You can get 32GB if you have budget. But it won't be useful if you are not using resource intensive apps such as VM Station, 3D Apps such as Blender/Maya etc. or running Unreal Engine toolkit.

Your rest of the RAM will go waste and unused. better get 16GB to use the saved money somewhere else. Don't think about Future proofing because Technology changes rapidly every year.

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I think I go with

*mdcomputers.in/corsair-vengeance-lpx-16gb-ddr4-3600mhz-cmk16gx4m1z3600c18.html?search=16 GB RAM

Hope this is a good choice.

not sure if you can run 2 separate sticks in dual channel mode. Try looking for 2*16GB kit instead of 2 separate 16GB stick.

Thanks, everyone I went with *www.amazon.in/gp/product/B08D6GKX3J/, got it for 14,148.00 INR including tax.

Like @Zangetsu suggested, i may not need 32 GB. Have 24 GB free RAM now

Code:
boby@sok-01:~$ free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          32105        6356       21627         708        4121       24589
Swap:          9536           0        9536
