Have 8 GB of RAM, considering upgrade.

[Tria1999GR]

Good evening!

I am considering a RAM upgrade, as it seems 8 GB are holding my PC back from playing games like BF1 and ME:A at 60 fps 1080p ( even at min graphics) by a little bit. Overclocking my GPU didn't help noticeably, and from the results i got at Game-debate I can see my RAM is kind of lacking.
My rig:
Intel Core i5 4570 3.2 GHz
8 GB RAM (Corsair Vengeance, 1600 MHz, DDR3, single stick)
AMD Radeon R9 280 (Gigabyte, OC Windforce)
Samsung 840 Evo SSD 120 GB, (dunno if it matters that much)

Also, since its a single 8 GB stick, can I upgrade, lets say, to 12 gig? I may get a new rig in a year or so, so I don't need a long term solution.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you may be able to upgrade RAM up to 16GB or 32GB. Check with Motherboard Model specification.

to decide how to upgrade ram on your PC you need to get make/model of your motherboard.
as far as BF1, don't expect great FPS with an R9 280, specs of BF1 below taken from : https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/battlefield-1/13404
