I really like to play a lot of early access games and AAA Games. This includes Rust/Battlegrounds to gtaV/Witcher 3. The reason why I am suggesting to get 16GB is that games like Rust and battlegrounds absolutely chew up all the memory. This then also causes stuttering and freezing that can be very annoying. I am also getting an i7 4790 and a brand new 1920x1080p monitor as the i5 can be a slight bottleneck in the AAA games and my monitor atm is VERY old. I use Razer cortex in general in games such as battlegrounds and rust to save as much memory as possible but I still get a lot of stuttering. I am just planning to deck my PC out to the best that I need it to be to run games in good graphics being AAA or early access. as for the GPU, I can always OC it if I really need that extra performance but with something like ram it's tricky for me as I really want it but is it worth it? especially with the prices atm as I got my first stick for only £30 but now has gone up to £55. Do I "need" 16GB or do I just want it and will it really help me out for how expensive it really is? (note I only play games don't do editing or anything like that)
