I'm trying to play Just Cause 3 but for what it's known, 8GB RAMs are not suitable for playing Just Cause 3 eventhough 8GB is the recommended RAM size for the game. I've searched on the internet about manually fixing the memory leak the game has and I stumbled upon changing the pagefile. I have an 8GB RAM, an i3-3240 CPU and 2 HDD's. I looked at the pagefile settings and saw the recommended pagefile as 124189 MB. So what should I put in the initial size and maximum size for the best performance for my pc? I'm intending to make 2 pagefiles for my two separate HDD's. Btw, here is the link where I found out about pagefile.

The usual answer is to set it equal to your ram size and have it fixed. 8192MB min and 8192MB max. That way the space is contiguous and pre-allocated on the disk. If you end up using the pagefile, your performance drops dramatically. So you really only want pagefile space as a last level to protect the machine from locking up.
