It needs better/faster memory, 3200MHz.

8gb ram is a bit iffy these days. Better to get matched set now than adding later.

This is close if you take off the OS:

^and more. 2x 8GB ram minimum. A Gtx 1070Ti will flog only 8GB ram to the point of running out and use pagefile on your SSD.

So will I be better off getting 16gb of ram right now rather than waiting to upgrade later?

If budget allows it would make sense to. If your plan was to get another stick of ram later you do run the risk of memory compatibility between the two rams if not bought as a kit. Mixing ram is iffy but can work. If you can avoid that possibility happening to you get 2x 8GB now.

Thank you for the input!
