April 4, 2015 2:35:08 AM. 8GB is enough right now. Now-a-days, 6GB minimum but recommended is 8GB. After some years (i.e. 2-3 years), 8GB will be minimum for many games. If you want to keep your laptop for next 2-3 years and till know have budget then better to go for 10 or 12GB RAM (if supported). It will depend on the games you play. For most games, 8 gigs is enough assuming you are playing in med settings.
