Minimum ram for PC gaming
I'm new to PC gaming and was wondering if 8gb ram and 1tb would be good for csgo and other steam games?

8gb. anything more is overkill

Lol thanks again I felt like it wasn't enough but I doubted my self!
storage space: 1 TB = 1024 GB

Most smaller games take up about 2 GB or less. Some older but large-scale games take up about 2-5 GB. more modern games often take up something like 10-30 GB. Sometimes you get really bloated games taking up up to 60 GB.

Each game's store page should tell you what RAM and storage space you need.

8 GB ram minimum for modern games
4gb for older games like tf2

4GB is the minimum RAM

4Gb minimum. :steamhappy:
8GB minimum for current gen games.
12-16GB for ARK is recommended by many.

I have 32GB for OS Disk Caching and futureproofing as RAM is dirt cheap.

General rule of thumb is at least as much RAM as the two leading consoles (8GB each in this case).

8 GB just to be safe.

CSgo would be on the low end of requirements.. 8gb is more than enough

Since I have 4, yeah, you probably need 8. Although, it's not really that bad.

Oh, and I still use the 9800GT.

I'm on the verge of a new one, though. Just waiting for deals.

4GB is manageable, 8GB I would say is the standard for today's games, more than that only if you play really exigent games and multitasking
