16GB vs 8GB for streaming/gaming?

[tcprix]

Which one is suffice? If it depends on factors of my build let me know. From what I've read 8GB's is plenty for just gaming but I"m wondering more so on the streaming aspect part of it if 16GB could in anyway help the multitasking of my PC when it comes to simultaneously gaming and streaming.

Thanks.

Yes. 16GB does help.

RAM is priced so low now its not much more expensive to get a 16GB package and so I think its worth it.

16Gb. When I stream/record, depending at the game, I'm using 7.5 - 8.5Gb. The days of 8Gb being enough are slowly coming to an end.

Just upgraded to 16Gb over Christmas time. Highly recommend.

Normally I'd say there's not much difference between 8 and 16, but streaming likes as large a buffer as you can give it.

The price difference between 16GB and 8GB does not really worth to cost your time of thinking or considering.
Just get that 16GB kit!
