Do I need new RAM?

[FatherSnow]

Hello!

I am looking to upgrade my computer a little bit, currently, I am using an old Studio XPS 8500 (black and white case) that I bought in 2010 maybe 2012, with a GTX 1050 ti 4gb graphics card and all the original components (Intel i5, 4x2gb of ram, 1TB harddrive). The RAM is 1333 MHz and only 8gb worth. Is it too slow?

An ssd upgrade before anything will show a big improvement in load times.

 

If you want more gaming performance a GPU upgrade will make a bigger difference than getting more ram.

what for? 8GB is enough for some gaming browsing and doing everyday tasks but not for using chrome professional stuff

Yes, I can hit over 9GB just on a busy desktop.

I would get an SSD in the first place, 8GB is plenty for gaming.
