So I've got this little dual monitor extended display set up where i play a game such as overwatch on full screen on one display and I've got a youtube video playing on the other screen. I notice a slight stutter when playing game and would like to know how I can make it go away. Would increasing my ram from 8gig to 16gig do it?

Also my gaming screen is on 1920X1080 @60fps while my youtube screen is on 1600X900 @60fps

Specs
OS: Windows 10 pro 64 bit
CPU i5 3470 @320GHz
Ram 8gb Single-channel ddr3 @665MHz
MotherBoard Intel Corp DH67BL
Graphics card: GTX 960 (MSI)
Display: Samsung C24F390 and UA22ES5000
 
Could try going into the Nvidia control panel and setting the GPU to single display mode (for gaming, doesn't disable the second monitor). Fixed it for me when I had this issue,
