What Could Be Causing Random Lag On Minecraft?

Hello, I'm trying to figure out what's causing lag in games like minecraft and recording software such as xsplit for videos for youtube.

Here's my current setup:
Mobo: Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0
Graphx: Asus Radeon R9 270 -2GB
CPU: AMD FX 6300 - 3.5GHz / 6 cores
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x 4GB (1600 Mhz)
Drives: 128GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD, 1TB Western Digital Black or Blue (I forgot)

Internet Speed: 30-35Mbps Download 5-10Mbps Upload

The random lag occurs on both multiplayer and single player modded minecraft after I have quite a few machines running simultaneously.

So knowing all of this, should I focus on adding 2x 8GB of RAM to my system?
Added (1). Also just to make it clear it's on modded minecraft, I don't lag on unmodded but still I want to figure out the issue causing lag so I can fix it.

And if it's not RAM that's causing the issue what might it be?
