Is 8gb ram enough for 1080p ultra/max settings?

[solleyjoshua]

Hey guys, so basically I'm getting a brand new PC hopefully by next year (Or Christmas if I'm lucky) and I'm wondering if 8gb ram is enough for 2018's standards. Games like Black Ops 4 that I would love to play have a recommended system requirement of 12gb of ram and I'm worried that it just wouldn't be good enough for modern-day/AAA games and that the system will be held back at its full potential because of this...

The PC I'm looking at getting is...

AMD Ryzen 5 2600
8GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 2400MHZ
GTX 1070 TI

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

16GB is quickly becoming the ideal amount of RAM, and you would really want faster RAM, 3000+MHz

8gb is ok but not really recommended. It is fine to use though as long as your not streaming or running multiple unnecessary programs simultaneously.

Alrighty, I guess I'll opt for the 16gb of ram. I don't want to spend too much on ram so I may stick with the 2400mhz ram, and maybe overclock it in the future. The motherboard selected in the build is an x470 one so I think it'll work fine.

I highly recommend you spend the 20$ premium on faster ram as ocing is unpredictable and ryzen does have a serious performance increase with faster ram. You can always just drop down to a b450 board and use the saved money for faster memory.

OCing ram is a gamble, if the RAM could easily run at higher than advertised speeds it would be sold at that speed.
A 2400MHz kit likely cant operate much faster than that stable.

Yeah I think I'll do that, overclocking gets me a little worried so yeah. That's a good solution.

Thanks, didn't really know that type of information before. I'll look for some good kits that can put this machine to its full potential!
