You've got a very fast CPU for gaming

You went with only 1 stick of RAM that is usually what people do for budget PC's. Try to find another single stick of RAM (same vendor, same amount of RAM, same speed and timings). If you can't then I would suggest buying 2x8 sticks of RAM to compliment the rest of that system.
