I purchased a gaming PC a couple years ago.... starting to get old, but I think still has decent life in it.
I looked at the minimum spec and recommended spec for a game that I want to play (LOTR Middle Earth Shadow or War) and the RAM is at the very minimum (8GB) so I think its probably the cheapest upgrade anyway.... Graphics card is not up to the recommended level, but its above the minimum... anyway here is my spec (from the email confirmation of my order):
So I have 2 x 4GB RAM and I have 4 slots in the PC - they look the same to me so as far as I can tell they all support the same memory (let me know if I am wrong).
Here is a link to that memory on OC:

Summary: ~£130.00 for 2x8GB, ~£80.00 for 2 x 4GB.... so quite expensive!
I want 16GB at least, but would prefer 32GB (why?.... not sure, its a bigger number! and bigger = better?!?!).
So the question is, should I:
Thanks!

So the question is, should I:
- fork out more to get another 16GB (total 2x8GB, 2x4GB = 24GB)
- Just get another 8GB (total 4x4GB = 16GB)
- Another option.... possibly cheaper?
Thanks!
