Your friend is right, 4GB is way too low for games like GTA 5.

How about Fortnite. I forget to tell you i had same problem with fortnite too.

Yes, just about all modern games, especially the large open world maps, require more than 4GB otherwise you'll get a lot of lag and stuttering.
The other thing too, you'll get smoother performance by having dual channel RAM, your motherboard is made for dual channel but in order to use it, you need 2 separate sticks of RAM. So if you can get an identical stick to your current one, and put it in the right slot (you may need the motherboard manual) you'll get better RAM usage.

So should I buy 8gb ram or buy 4gb ram?

You already have 4, so buy another 4, which will give you 8GB. Then by using them in the correct slots for dual channel they will help to speed up the way your PC can access the RAM.

Can I buy 8gb because i planned to use 16gb in future. so it can save my money if i want to use 16gb or higher.

You can buy 8 and use it with the 4, but it may not be the smoothest as most motherboards like matched pairs of RAM.
