There is couple of games that needs 8gb+ ( Dying Light, Star Citizen) but for what you are playing its a waste.

You will need to upgrade sooner or later but for now its fine.

It really depends what you are doing. If you are just gaming then don't bother upgrading to 16GB.

I did a similar upgrade using Corsair dominator RAM. Im sure that technically it may help, but I really didnt see any difference. I will tell you that by bumping up the RAM voltage from 1.5V to 1.65V, it increased the temperatures on my CPU by about 4-5C while using a 212 evo cooler. I have an intel i7 4770k, btw.

No. 8GB is fine, so unless your running a move, running a bunch of IE tabs and gaming will 16GB of ram be useful.
