Worth upgrading ram from 8 GB to 16 GB in my budget rig for modern title games?

Hello everyone,

First of all thank you for reading my post. Last year I bought a budget rig with ---

Intel i5 4460

Asus strix 960 2GB

8 GB DDR3 ram

I played almost every game at high settings with 60 fps at 1920x1080. Some modern title games did use much ram. But not like Just cause 3. It really is a bad experience playing in my rig. Some people of steam told me my rig is not enough to play this game. Ok, i value their opinions. But even playing at medium setting the game stutters like hell and fps drops from 80 to 8 fps some times. If my rig is so bad, then why it goes up to 80 fps and stand their for very good time and suddenly goes down to 8 fps during intense explosion moments? It also stutters without any explosions too.

My plan is not to buy a new rig in near future as I am a budget guy. Now my questions is should I buy another 8 GB ram more to increase performance of this game? Does it also worth for daily usage without gaming?

Thank in advance for stopping by.

If your a Multi-tasker, and need it, get it.
If you want better gaming performance don't.
Here's a video showing how useless the extra 8GB is:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPenpMMJYEI

Put the money towards a 970 or 980 instead.
That will increase gaming performance.
