Currently running a Ryzen5 5600

32GB RAM

GTX3060 12GB Graphics Card

 

Was wondering if increasing my RAM to 64 would help at all with the bit of lag I seem to get.

It depends on what kind of lag you're experiencing. You're not being very specific.

 

Open up Task Manager. Is your RAM maxed out, or is the CPU Usage maxed out?

 

Usually when RAM is maxed out, things get veeerrrryyyyy slow due to paging between RAM and disk. Even the fastest PCI-E 5.0 NVMe drives will get crushed by that. My guess is you actually need more CPU cores, like as many as possible (5950X would be a very succssful upgrade).

 

GPU is almost certainly fine unless you're trying to run certain effects at max settings on large images.
