Going from 8Gig to 16Gig. Any point

Hi people

My system has just been built and currently looks like this:

Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth P67 B3 Rev
CPU: Core i5 2500K (@ 4.6GHz)
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H60
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C8 1600MHz
PSU: Coolermaster Silent Pro 1000W
Graphics: MSI GeForce GTX 580 OC Twin FrozR II 1536MB
Sound Card: Asus Xonar D2X 7.1
HDD: OCZ Agility 3 120Gig
Case: Coolermaster HAF 912


It runs great and after ironing out a few little heat and air flow issues my system is rocking and kicking gaming ass which is thne reason I have it

Anyway I feel addicted to upgrading and creating a better system. Im going to go SLi at the end of the month and get anopther SSD as im close to running out of space so I was wondering about my system memory.

I can get another exact 2x4Gig set of memory from a shop near where I live for £40 (they like me after everything Ive bought haha) so then Id have 16Gig of memory but would it make any difference overall? Would it be overkill lol.

All i use my system for is intense gaming sessions and internet browsing nothing like video or photo editing. Any advice welcome as always

Then you don't need the upgrade, you will get little to no performance gains.

There really won't be any benefit unless you are already running out of RAM, which you are obviously not for your uses
