How much DDR4 RAM do I need? Is 8GB enough?

[Kevi2129]

I want to be able to play games like Overwatch, GTA V, CS:GO and League of Legends with a GTX 1050 Ti, but my question is:

Is 8GB DDR4 RAM enough or do I need 16GB?
I'm thinking about buying Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000MHz 2x4 GB, but is it better to buy the 2x8GB?

I have no intention of running the games on ultra graphics on a 5K monitor, just running the games in a nice quality is fine

Thanks for your help

8GB of ram is plenty for the games you would like to run. No need to spend the extra cash.

For latest games 8GB is not enough anymore. Go with 16GB.

For the games you have listed 8Gb is fine.
