jamesfreddie · 15 May 2012 at 20:22

I would get a 2GB stick so it matched.

is there much difference?

I don't think its worth upgrading form 1333 to 1600.

I would get at least 6GB if you play BF3.

I would also be tempted to go for 12GB ram. I would go for 1600 why you where at it.

Really you want 3 sticks of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-094-KS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

Nope. But the price difference is basically 0 so its worth getting 1600mhz. If you do have a single stick of 4GB, I'd get another 2 x 4gb for 12gb of ram and triple channel.

Triple channel does not make that much difference, but hey, ram is cheap!

i found 4x4(16gb) for i think 64£ is that good (it was that exact ram)

You do really want Triple Channel Memory either 6GB or 12GB.

Was this a prebuild from somewhere other than OcUK?

I don't know why people are suggesting Dual Channel with your setup....

OCZ AGT3-25SAT3-120G Agility 3 120GB SATA III 2.5 inch SSD @ £78?
Better than this
Crucial RealSSD M4 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive @ £90?

Get the M4, less returns more reliable. Very popular.
