Hello everyone, Firstly I wanted to ask what's your opinion on this information, but based on my system.

I found some 2015 posts but don't really satisfy my answer curiosity.

Basicaly, I am thinking if a RAM upgrade would increase my FPS by 5-8% which would make me buy them. Recently I've done a benchmark of my system and the only 2 components which were under 70% are RAM and Main SSD for OS ( which will change next week anyway ), the rest are over 90% of User Benchmarks.

So I'm thinking if a RAM upgrade would help my system in any shape or form.

My system is : I7 4790 (non K), MSI Aero GTX 1070, 12GB of RAM (samsung OEM) at 1600Mhz, and Samsung EVO 850 500GB + 250 ( will buy next week the 250 one )

My case is a ASUS ROG G20AJ, so I'm stuck with SODIMM DDR3 /3L and I don`t plan on changing the case since I love it and the CPU is powerfull enough to last me another 3 years of gaming.

Thanks alot for taking the time to read and also for your curiosity.

The SSD is for the boot drive, I got other SSD for the games already on the build. It did improve my performance tho when i moved World of Warcraft from 7200RPM HDD to the Samsung 850 SSD, by alot...loading screens cut to 4 seconds from 30 or so.

And RAM, there was quite a big difference from 1333 to 1600, thats why I ask for the 1866...and also this RAM can overclock itself to 2100 MHZ , I just don't know if my motherboard can take it that far ...since nowhere on ASUS's website can i find the custom motherboard specs for G20AJ.
