    Do I need to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB of RAM?

    Sorry for the confusion about RAM slots. That was my fault. I went ahead and ordered 2x4 GB of the Ram I have installed now. It was only $53 USD. Not too bad, so I got it.

    Do I need to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB of RAM?

    No, I don't think so. I was just wondering because I have been using 8GB of RAM since I built it in 2012. I am just looking to upgrade stuff and RAM is the last thing on my list, but now I am thinking that I don't really need it. I guess I just wanted a second opinion lol.
