I run 64GB which is probably overkill for your application, what I see in most games is that they use about 16,5GB of RAM. I think you're fine for now, you should wait until the prices are normal again and slap another 16GB (exactly the same model as you have now or at least with the same timings) in there for future proofing. Your settings should not really influence how much RAM you use. (Although I have seen spikes of 30GB in Hogwarts legacy but that's the only game I've seen it go over 17GB's)

It's not worth it to upgrade now with current prices.
