Yes, more ram and more power (higher power supply unit wattage) is usually underestimated in lots of pc builds, especially gamer builds.

While working at a PC and laptop build / repair shop, most (73-83%) crashes / freezes / game / PC performance could be attributable to not enough RAM or not enough wattage from the PSU (usually happened when they did alot of upgrades).
