I am looking to upgrade my ram from my current 4gb specifically for gaming only. I have an Intel i7-950 and an ASrock x58 extreme3 motherboard. Since I only play games, surf, watch movies and listen to music. Should I go with 12gb (3x4gb) or 16gb (4x4gb)? The 16gb (4x4gb) can still be configured in triple channel according to the x58 manual.
However, for usage purpose would 16gb be overkill, since I don't do any graphic rendering? Or would it be safe to upgrade to 16gb since most new games like Battlefield 4, Metro Last Light, and Bioshock Infinite require so much memory usage?
