8GB is definitely enough for gaming. its only heavy web browsing and video editing/rendering that would need more.

Does you RAM run out when it is under the most load you throw at it? If it doesn't then you don't really need to get more. If it does or you want to be future proof Crucuial makes a good set of a 16gb set of low profile ram:
