Does more than 8gb of RAM actually have an impact on video editing by an impact I don't mean like 1 percent but like a noticeable real life situations like editing 1080p or 4K video.
 
Solution
Check your memory usage. If it is not maxing out, chances are you will no see much difference.

When compressing/rendering video the cpu becomes a bottleneck many times.

When Chrome is using 10GiB and WoW is using 3GiB, yes. If you don't have this issue, then no. I have 16GiB of memory in use by my programs right now.

It depends on what you're using the computer for. You may do just fine with 2GiB. With how cheap memory is, 8GiB is typically the basic amount to get.
