The only downside to lots of RAM is that it slows down waking from hibernation, as all of that it has to be copied from disk to RAM. This is mitigated by having a fast SSD.
Oh and also the time taken to perform a RAM check on boot up might add a second or two. But on a Windows length boot up time you'd hardly notice such a thing. On my circa 7s Linux boot time it is quite a proportion.
