How big difference is between 8gb and 16gb of RAM in gaming?

Not much for now, but in the future you will have to consider an upgrade to 16 GB, but is hard to tell when, 8 GB won't be a problem soon I think.

Anyhow before the RAM upgrade you should consider an SSD, even better if you get a faster one for the M.2 slot on the motherboard.
