8GB in a modern system is not enough in my opinion. 16GB should be your minimum. My rig when it was strictly for gaming had 16GB and it would be using almost all 16GB when running various games.

Sometimes it creates problems but I can use that money to buy new games.

 

What problems are you having? Frame drops? Slow speeds?

Ram shortage while playing PUBG and sometimes when using premier.

Then yes, you should get more ram. It may speed up programs because they don't have to use the page file as often.
