So then don’t get two 16 gb then I should just stick with 8gb? I stream and play games like cod ark Fortnite and stream at once so what ever will help money isn’t a problem as long as not over 200 just want to run smooth

It will work, but don't, you must use 2 sticks for modern games to play smoothly.
Will it hurt my computer from going from 8 to 32 or will it be fine

And does it have to be 3000 Marx or can I do 3600 or 3200

I would get another 8gb of the same model. Alot of those lag that you see are from the PC only having 1 ram module because it's running in single single memory. Running dual channel will help big.

I can’t find the same one I’m just gonna replace it but would 3600 marzipan hurt because it’s the only 32ram at best buy near me

8 to 32 is no problem for your PC, but you need to run 2 sticks for best performance.
Okay but since my original is 3000 mhrz am I able to put a 3600 one in or no

The 32GB kit you posted from Best Buy will work.

You will remove the one stick that's in the computer, and replace with the two from the new kit.

If you're not comfortable doing that, I think best buy would install (for a charge).

At stock, your CPU supports up to 3200 Mhz memory, but 3600 should work. I would buy something on your motherboard's QVL if you want to be safe.

To run the memory at 3600mhz, you'll need to enable the xmp profile in the bios. It's easy.

You're going to have to adjust settings in CoD to improve performance with that RX570 but you'll still have a fairly good improvement over the Xbox.
A lot of settings are unnecessary... Some do better maxed out..TXAA X2 for instance, tesselation set to near...SSR Low, Ambient Occlusion- Both and film grain set to zero and no world blur.

16gb of memory does help... Gets rid of a little bit of stutter
Turn off Tesselation it was weaponized by Nvidia, ah the 90s have returned...
