Hi there,

Even if u will get more RAM, the games will not benefit from it : )

Overclocked or or not. 8GB is the sweet spot for the games!

I think so but I haven't got much experiences.
Thank you

I usually recommend 16GB, because it is dirt cheap, and not many people don't do other things on their PC than gaming only.

I have 2600K @ 4.5GHz and 16GB RAM.

16GB cost about $45 more than 8GB.

So it does not sound like a deal breaker to me.

Yep, gamer's do just that,

because the games don't take the advantage of hyper threading.
