Hello,

I have an ageing, but still pretty quick i5 6600k + Z170 Pro Gaming setup. My existing RAM is: 16GB HyperX FURY DDR4 2666MHz (2 x 8GB Kit)

I’d like to upgrade to 32gb but I’m not sure what the best option is:

1) should I retain the old memory and buy another 2x 8gb sticks? If so could anyone provide some recommendations?

2) should I get 32gb of new RAM and get rid of the HyperX? If so I’d be grateful for recommendations that are compatible with my mobo.

edit: budget isn’t much of a concern but I don’t want to spend a fortune, particularly as the rest of my system might be a bottleneck.

Many thanks
 
Thanks for the reply.

I'm not really up for replacing the entire system at the moment. [snob] I'm in the fortunate position where money isn't really a concern, but buying more and more crap and ending up with abandoned electrical components is a concern. [/snob]

This 4 year old PC still performs pretty well (the RTX 2060 helps a bit probably), but I had believed an extra 16gb RAM might help to eliminate some stutters in certain titles (Tarkov mainly at the moment), but I'm probably wrong in this?

Thanks
 
I'll probably end up buying a new system now. THANKS!

Seriously though that was a helpful video and thanks for your help.
