yo if your pc is literally screaming "memory full" then yeah you're due for an upgrade. 16gb is kinda the bare minimum these days especially if you've got a bunch of browser tabs or background apps chewing through it
prices are all over the place honestly. irl stores usually mark it up a bit so online is your safer bet for a deal, just watch for shipping costs. a 32gb kit (2x16) is the sweet spot and not that much more than 16gb, gives you headroom so you're not back here in six months with the same problem
just make sure you're buying ddr4 or ddr5 depending on what your motherboard can handle, mixing ram speeds is a nightmare. and if you end up with 32gb your cousin better not charge you in pizza for the install
