Upgrading is better than expected.
My system was using 28% of my ram just for Windows and other basic operations.
When all the research said 8 was fine for gaming ...well 28% was already gone.
Now with 16gb only 10% is used by windows and on testing vermintide 2 my load screen times have halved.
I knew something was amiss and this was it.
I suppose only actually testing this can give you the answers you need.
