According to Android Developer , Minimum requirements for Android Studio :

Windows

• Microsoft® Windows® 8/7/Vista/2003 (32 or 64-bit)
• 2 GB RAM minimum, 4 GB RAM recommended
• 400 MB hard disk space
• At least 1 GB for Android SDK, emulator system images, and caches
• 1280 x 800 minimum screen resolution
• Java Development Kit (JDK) 7
• Optional for accelerated emulator: Intel® processor with support for Intel® VT-x, Intel® EM64T (Intel® 64), and Execute Disable (XD) Bit functionality

Now this is minimum requirements so you should use better than this requirements.

I recommended to expand your RAM to 8 GB. I have RAM of 8 GB and its working fine.
