It matters...

 

Do you run multiple screens, and tend to have lot's of applications open?

 

The more ram the better!

No tangible performance will be felt as increased RAM neither helps in lowering loading times or increasing FPS. Larger than 8GB RAM is only useful in games which require a lot of textures and mods. Although, you can use your extra RAM as a RAMDISK and use it decrease loading times at the cost of longer startup and shut down time.
