[Textosterone]

I play alot of gta 5 and it uses up most of it anyway and when i try to do a google search while gta 5 is open its really slow.

It never does any harm to get more

Check your ram usage in your task manager. If it's getting full, time for another 4gb stick.

How about you start by telling us how much ram you have..

[KirbyTech]

You only have 8 GB so another 8 GB would not hurt. I would say go with another 8 GB simply because I don't think 8 GB is enough now days. If you use chrome this even more. I personally say 16-24 gb is the sweet spot

8gb is the sweet spot. 16gb is the enthusiast sweet spot. I personally have 8gb ram, and I rarely go over 50% usage.

Yeah while GTA 5 is running i have just over 2 GB left. Im going to get more

8 gb is by no means the sweet spot I use on average 4 gb just sitting with a web browser open so open a game and that only give you 4 gb for a game not enough. Also many other applications benefit

Go for it, you will like having 24 gb of ram. That is what I currently have since 1 8 gb stick got broke...

Well many people are fine with 8gb. it may be nice to have more at times, but it really isn't needed, so I'd still put it above the sweet spot.

It is not needed to have more than 4 but that does not mean it is the sweet spot. Anyone fine with 8 gb likely has to close things before moving onto something else.
