I want to play games on my personal computer, if I want to speed up the execution of video games, do I need to add more RAM?
16GB and an SSD of your choice per size. Honestly a good HDD is fast enough.

ram is funny stuff.. having more than you need wont speed up anything but having less will surely slow things down..
to simply play games 8 gb would be enough..

While you are technically correct it should be noted that a well optimized OS and software will not slow down when it starts swapping. Of course, even in 2018 Windows is the worst offender for memory utilization. 8 gigs is plenty in every other operating system.

At this point I believe that 16gb should be plenty for gaming of course its always better to have more if you like to do heavy multitasking .....If you want to speed up "execution" of video games it´s more important to have SSD and game need to be installed on it.....

I know I would be comfortable with that16GB RAM and a MX500 or WD SATA SSD would last for a long time.
