Maybe you should check if your system is running low on memory.

It varies by task, but I generally suggest 16GB of RAM as a standard for modern gaming setups.
Sure, I understand. I might get two more RAM sticks, and I've heard that dual-channel setup can improve performance.
I'm not sure about the exact numbers, but during play it reaches around 14-15 GB usage, and I think background apps are allowed to use it.
Suggest using two 4GB or two 8GB 2600Mhz cards if your motherboard supports it. Going beyond that mainly boosts benchmark results and doesn’t enhance everyday performance.
If you are solely gaming, and not playing hugely MODDED games, you are very unlikely to be using or needing more than 16gb of RAM. If you are - close some of those chrome tabs. If you dont want to close some of those internet tabs - get more RAM - wont make the system faster FYI unless you have a RAM bottleneck.
