I recently had a problem with my laptop's hard drive (and now I have a 1TB, yay) and I had to reinstall Windows 8 on a new one, I was wondering what you guys would recommend me to do: update to 8.1, or just keep it as on 8.0? I'm honestly not having any problems with 8.0 like I used to have (thanks dobby for helping me with that shit) and I am using less RAM now that all the extra useless shit is off.

What would be the benefits(if any) of updating to 8.1?

I agree with Hobo. Update. Last time i checked 8.0 isnt supported anymore.

Windows 8.1 is a 'service pack'-like update and as such Microsoft will remove support for Windows 8 installations that are not updated to 8.1 soon (Oct 2015, or Jan 2016, depends on the source you look at).

While you still get security updates for Windows 8 you're probably not getting many new hotfixes which just fix bugs that remain from release. Plus you can't upgrade to Windows 10 without first updating to 8.1.
