Hello I currently have an i7 4770, 8 gb ram, Geforce Gtx 750ti on a 300W power supply.

I'm wondering if upgrading ram at all will help with games and if my power supply can support adding 8 gb more ram (16 gb total) I'm not sure how much power it takes for ram, so i'm just curious. I know ram is pretty cheap but don't want to overwork my psu in the process.

the wattage ram uses is minimal. talking like 3w. that shouldnt be a problem. as for adding more ram, 8gb is fine for gaming. you won't see much of a difference at all from upgrading to 16. best thing you can do is upgrade your graphics card and psu in a system like that.
