Yes, but you could track your ram usage while gaming to make sure you are running out.  

That said, the z270 board will run dual channel ram, so another 8GB DIMM is a good choice.

I used to have 8gb of ram and would have occasional stutters in my games but when I bought a 16gb kit, I haven't had any stuttering and a higher and more stable frame rate if that helps.

Man constant 165? That is quite a lot.

Adding more ram will always help however (until you reach such a high amount that it becomes a moot point).
