4gb of ram is the average for games as of right now. Anything more is just having more room to breath. and i mean 4gb of gaming RAM sticks. Not regular sticks.

The chart for ram is steadily increasing as you go up but once you reach 6-8 it kinda levels out so conceptually 24 is the same as 12. if im wrong quote me.

I would recommend 6gb of ram allowing the games to run smoother. Now depending on what processor you have i could recommend a different video card.

If you have an AMD processor I would get a ATI graphics card. If you have an Intel processor you should get an Nvidia graphics card. I say this because AMD makes ATI cards and Nvidia uses Intel technology in their cards. Smile

I have 4gb and it does the job.

IF you really want to game get the 16gb and a 64bit version of windows.

If you just dont want to lag just get the 6gb
