What RAM to upgrade to?

[Kris_90]

Hi

I opened my PC for the first time on Tuesday (to add a new cpu cooler/GPU/PSU). I noticed I have 2x2GB RAM. I only bought the computer in December but I'm thinking of upgrading to 16GB RAM. As I haven't got a clue how I would find out what type of RAM it is I looked at the invoice, I found this:

8GB 1333MHz Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM

I presume I just buy 2 lots of this for example:

Why 16GB?

For gaming 4GB is sufficient 90%+ of the time.

For almost anything else 8GB is plenty.

Filling all 4 RAM slots can affect overclocking.

Whatever you do these are cheaper:

Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel Kit

Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

Ah ok, well at the moment I have 4x2GB but I think I'll just leave it as it is.

Thanks
