Amount of memory

[Lokordd]

Hey all,
This is my setup:

2600K OC;ed 4.6
Asus P8Z68-V Mobo
8 gig GSkill Sniper 1600 Mhz ram
2X EVGA 560 2 gig SLI'ed

I think those are the only relevant parts. So my question is, is it worth going to 16 gigs of ram for 50 bucks? I have never seen my ram usage go past 40%, but I have just been messing around LoL, and other free games till Diablo 3. Will I see a bump in performance at all? Or is 8 gigs plenty for everything for the next 2 years +? Thanks for the help!

8Gb is good for now and the less amount of RAM spots you take the higher stability you get on your OC. Adding 8gb will give your OS more to work with, but then you could just get an SSD.

I do have a 120gig SSD for windows and a few games. So sounds like no point of going over 8 huh?

Not really. I would save the money.
