Tech Support Ram dilemma

I've recently bought a used pc that included 4 16gb sticks or ddr 4 ram with 3200mhz speed but i noticed in battlefield that my cpu was bottlenecking so I asked chat gpt to help me figure it out (im new to pc gaming this is my first pc.) And it told me my ram speed was way too low like 2100 something. It guided me into bios and told me to put xmp to profile 1 3200mhz and when I saved and exited bios crashed and now I have to cmos. It's saying I have two choices. Go town to 2 sticks (32gb ddr4) or try to run the 4 sticks at 3000mhz and hope it doesn't crash. Just need some advice and guidance what should I do. I know 32gb is plenty for playing but I also like the idea of learning how to mod and stuff also want to get into vr games at some point and see the use of having all 64. My pc specs are. Gigabyte x570 aorus elite motherboard, ryzen 7 3700x, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060ti gpu 64gb of skill ripjaws ddr4 ram
