[QUOTE="§am, post: 178022, member: 9187"] 8-16GB will be more than fine for what you need, but as already mentioned, CPU will take a hit. When you're doing your work, monitor how much load your CPU is hitting and also your memory - that should be a quick and dirty way of knowing which you really need to upgrade. However as it's a new system, I'm gonna guess that a new CPU is probably not the best upgrade to do (otherwise why not just have bought it with a better CPU?). Memory is dirt cheap these days, just remember to buy in pairs (eg. 2x 4GB) If you do buy any more then 4GB pairs, make sure you put the higher capacity ones in the lower number slots (usually paired by alternate numbers). Anandtech is a great site for all sorts of techie info, as is Neowin and Tom's Hardware :) [/QUOTE]
