Should i upgrade ram or ssd for gaming?
Load Games Faster
If your PC cannot run games properly because of insufficient RAM, adding an SSD isn't going to change that. An SSD, however, is beneficial for gaming. Because of faster read speeds, maps and cut scenes will both load significantly faster.

Is 16gb ram faster than 8gb?
The amount of RAM just determines how many programs you can simultaneously run (multitask) not the actual speed within those programs. That is dependent on frequency and timings. While 8GB higher frequency RAM will be faster than 16GB low frequency RAM, it also limits the amount of programs you can simultaneously use.
