Hello
Will i7 7700 and gtx 1070 work fine with 8gb ram?
For gaming

It will work great.

Honestly, you could get away with it but you'd be wasting your money by not investing in more with a CPU and GPU like those. 8 vs 16gb is what, a $40 difference?

Not to mention, 8GB is not so much the gaming standard anymore. Most newer games will run smoothly with 8 until you up the processes running at a time, at least in my experience. I would strongly recommend 16GB for more modern gaming.

for 1080p gaming, 8gigs of ram is more than suffieceint. even gta v barely crosses 3.5 gb ram usage. if u r planning to use UHD texture packs @ 2k and above, that's a different case....

Monitor your usage and don't upgrade just to get a larger number with no value to you. 8gb is more than most need. In our house there are 3 avid gamers only one of them ever goes over 8gb.
