Ram speed makes little to no difference in gaming, I've only ever seen 1 game benefit from faster ram and that was Battlefield 4.

I would def recommend you grab yourself another 4GB module. Make sure they match, as in identical speed, voltage, model.
Do you think it'll be necessary to move to 16GB at all? I was playing Far Cry 3 earlier today and noticed on MSI Afterburner that only around 2-3GB gets used... All 4 cores of the CPU were used though, 2 at around 90% and the other 2 at around 80%.

Still need to give you a shout about the temps in the case - both GPU and CPU were in the high 90's when playing today.
