Just got GTX 1080 but stuttering in some games

[exprophecy]

'ello there mates!
I recently got a Zotac GTX 1080 Mini and I am experiencing some stuttering in some games (and some frame dropping). Here are my specs:

ASRock A88M-G/3.1 (AMD A88X)
AMD A10-5800K 4-core @ 3.8GHz
8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1866MHz Dual Channel
ADATA SX900 256GB SSD

Now I understand my CPU can be bottlenecking my GPU but I didn't think it would cause it to stutter.. would upgrading my RAM to 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-2133MHz help? ...or do I just need to upgrade to Ryzen...

That old, really bad even new, CPU and 8GB RAM are severe problems to your gaming.

But would the bottlenecking cause stuttering? I thought bottleneck was just lower FPS

If your RAM is offloading to your hard drive then yes

Bottleneck means lower FPS, but the CPU also affects your minimum FPS.

By minimum I mean that time when your FPS drops to 40-30.
And if games use too much RAM, the system will switch to the page file, which is a lot slower.
