System:

Kingtson HyperX Blu 8gb 1600mhz
ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0
Corsair 600w
1TB western digital hard drive + 250GB hard drive
Corsair 200r
 
Solution
For gaming, 8 GB of RAM is fine, and going to 16 GB will not increase your FPS.

For video editing, more RAM is always better, so that can completely justify 16 GB of RAM.
