Looking to upgrade my ram which will be best for my computer

Well it's time for my computer to get a ram upgrade I want know to which ram is best and which ram is compatible this is my first time I'll be doing this so hopefully I can get a little guidance on what to do

 

Thanks for the quick reply here's what I got
http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/viewscanbyid.aspx?id=B9A47FDB31D926C3 however is 100$ the cheapest I can get for ram or is there a little cheaper? Also would you recommend 16 gb of ram to begin the comp is mostly used for gaming however I might buy one more game (crysis 3 and maybe bf4 if my comp can handle it)

 

I'd also suggest that before you decide on a whopping upgrade of 16 Gb, you check that quantity. My quad core AMD has 8 Gb and flies, and my 4 year old laptop has only 2 Gb and does just fine. You need to check how much your motherboard can handle (max amount) and in what configuration.

My Gigabyte MB can handle 16 Gb max, and that has to be done in pairs of 2 or 4 Gb, i.e., 2 Gb-2 Gb-2 Gb-2 Gb, 2-2-4-4, or 4-4-4-4. Done any other way (e.g., 2-4-4-2) and the MB won't recognize it.

If you don't have the motherboard manual, look it up online. Then compare what your MB can handle with what your games maximum recommended RAM is. If the max recommended is only 8 Gb, don't waste your money putting in 16 Gb, even if your MB can handle it.

Check reputable online stores for cheapest prices - just make sure your specs from Crucial's configurator match exactly with what you're buying. By "exactly" I mean more than the basics like ECC or not ECC, but all the details like memory speed, bus speed, timing, CAS Latency, voltage, etc. If its listed, match it. I use newegg and geeks as reputable stores with good prices (if I'm allowed to say that?!)

Hope this helps; let us know how you do.

 

Well I called the company before buying the ram and yes the max my computer was able to handle was 16 gb I had a little problem installing at first but that was quickly fixed and I know have a 16 gb ram in my desktop thanks guys!

 

Great.

Hope its flying like you wanted.
