Okay so I'm trying to make my PC a bit faster for the winter months to hopefully play the new games in high (not ultra) specs or at least mid with 60fps. I just got the new COD and it says it needs 8GB of Ram to play it as I only have 4GB. So I was wondering what would be the best RAM for my board and is there anything else I need to be concerned about, I'm thinking my PSU might be a bit low for everything I'm running but if not great as I don't have much money left now.

Thanks loads guys!

Specs:
AMD FX Quad Core 4100 Processor
XFX R9 270 2GB
4GB RAM (Soon to be 8 when i know which one to buy)
Corsair CX 430
MSI 970A-G46 Motherboard
500GB SSD
250GB SSD
19inch Samsung 1360x720
 
Give me a few, I'll see what I can find

EDIT: Do you know what type of RAM you currently have?

As for your GPU, from what the recommended specs for the latest cod ask it's perfectly fine.

So you should be set!
 
If I were you, I'd double the RAM and upgrade the CPU to a used 6XXX.
Bang for buck, the 6300 does seem to be a sweet spot at the moment and it's probably the best chip you could run on that mobo (apparently weak VRMs).
If all the details you have given are correct, then your PSU should be fine.

Check it out yourself here http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...=n1-nAduA2m295Jk3OHlZjw&bvm=bv.79189006,d.ZGU
I'm seeing recommended PSU wattage of less than 350w (including the extra RAM and CPU).

So yeah, RAM and 6XXX would be my choice.

So the ram that's been linked is the best for my board defiantly?

But it is rated at 1.55v - 1.65v and the board supports 1.5v according to the spec sheet.

I'm not sure how much of a problem those voltages may cause (or not at all maybe) on a lower spec mobo, but I think I'd play safe and go for these.

Just my thoughts, good luck.

Good call, I'm currently at work while responding so I only spotted the 1.5 and thought "That'll do!", morning grog causing me to go blind :)
