Hey Dazkyl,

8 GB will be more than enough for any current games. Longer term 12 GB or 16GB will be more future proof, but you probably won't use that much RAM for a year or two.

For RAM speed, stick with something around 1600 or 1866 Mhz. More than that the price vs performance starts to sky rocket without much return.

Also check out this other thread. There is more info from someone who asked a similar question.

I believe the most ram I have used in BF4 with firefox opened and many tabs is 6gb. that's also with a few programs running on top of it in the background. I would say 8gb should be fine for a few years or so. worst case, you just have to keep background processes to o min.
