Why is more ram not always better?

This memory sets the upper limit of tasks which the computer can perform at one time. If a computer has only a few gigs of RAM, then installing a few more will make its job easier. However, continuing to add more and more memory to the same processing power will quickly provide diminishing returns.

Is 3600mhz ram good for ryzen 9 5900x?
It should work fine but some kits especially 32gb kits may cause issues (I run mine at 2666 MHz and don't even get me started on those Kingstons that I removed from my PC)...

Can gta 5 run on 7gb ram?
With that being said, Yes, you can run GTA V on these specs provided you have a damn good graphics card. Oh, and better RAM too for that matter.

Is 64gb ram excessive?
For gaming, 64GB of RAM is definitely overkill. For editing/streaming/recording, unless you're doing extremely demanding resolutions, 64GB is probably overkill there as well.

Can minecraft run smoothly on 4gb ram?
Yes, this is by far enough ram to run Minecraft. I spent about 4 years on a machine with 4gb RAM, and I can assure you that the only issue with that amount of RAM is trying to do more things at the same time (chrome + game for example), but even then the main issue with Minecraft is the graphics.
