just go buy this.

I dont think 8 gigs extra is the way to go, but 4 will set you up for a good while.

You need more RAM then.

 

I have 16GB and I've never had usage go that high, so it surprises me.  I've never played Minecraft before though.

Yeah that's the one I have, but I'd buy 2x4GB, it wouldn't hurt.

Yeah I think a new RAM it's a good thing and it won't hurt. But I really found it weird because I play games like Arma 3 which are heavy and I can easily have a good framerate. Maybe the problem is with Java and Minecraft isn't it?

So the simple question is: should I upgrade from 8gb RAM to 16gb?

I game and I do some work, and the mainly reason I'm asking this is because yesterday I had nothing to do and I decided to run shaders on minecraft. Then I noticed that the RAM was being used at its limit, which concerned me. The fps also were stupidly low (around 20).

Tell me if I should upgrade my RAM, viewing all the aspects (work and gaming).

if you want those niche operations to run well, then yes.
