This ones should do the trick. Also check you Mobo’s (motherboard) manual to see if it supports dual channel memory and which slots allow that. Usually they are labled A B C and D and sometimes the pairs are AC and BD, otherwise you ram will run in single channel only and therefore won’t be as fast. But check your motherboard documentation for this information.

I'd research your mobo and see what the highest RAM clock speed it supports and go with a RAM upgrade, CPU if possible. Also there are a few sales on SSDs at the moment.

It's all based on what your mobo can handle, so research the max cpu architecture and ram speed and go with either of those.

Thanks a lot man. This is the RAM I'm using. For using Memtest, would I need to pull out my RAM and stick it in a different computer and do it on there?

One last question , will this ram stick work with my motherboard and the two other 4 GB RAM as well?

My RAM is two of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T63BJM

Just know that you can really get an extremely good, top of the line PC for $2,000

I highly recommend trying /r/buildapc and /r/pcmasterrace, and check out 4chan's /vg/ if you want to see what people think about games right now.

From what I can see, you could save some money in a few ways:

• Buy your peripherals on sale; Headphones, keyboard, mouse, you can get better deals on those. I recommend you shop around in stores for some good deals.
  
  
• I believe you can get a copy of Windows 8 64-bit (home) at Staples for ~$80
  
  
• I've had trouble with EVGA power supplies before, such as 24-pin ATX not fitting into the motherboard, bad cables out of the box, etc., although this was with the G1, and you have a G5, so I'm not sure.
  
  
• You can save on RAM (three links included)
  
  
• If you're a student, you can get Microsoft Office for free.
  
  
• Your case does come with fans, but I assume you'd like the red lighting.
  
  If you're really looking to cut costs down, you could probably live with a smaller (or without) an SSD, and mod the case fans yourself with red LEDs (quite easy to do with some wire and solder), and check out /r/microsoftsoftwareswap if it'll work out for you.
  
  I saw you hadn't gotten any thought-out responses, good luck to you.
  
  P.S. On a personal note, I would recommend an NVIDIA (I like MSI) graphics card, as they perform exceptionally well for the power usage, or an AMD Radeon, which is cost-effective and I like their software interface, especially for overclocking.

Ok. So it can hold two 8 gb ram sticks. That's the maximum. It can handle speeds up to 1600 though. You can get an identical ram stick and put that in but I would honestly recommend buying faster RAM. 1333 or 1600. I recommend two of these.

List of items
Processor - I3 12999

Motherboard- 1155 socket 3550

RAM - 8GB Ram 3500

Graphic card - 750Ti 9000 If you have a friend coming from abroad try to get the GTX 1060(~12k) will last you another 4 years

PSU(power supply)- 550w 3900

Total - 32950. All these prices are from online websites.Where do you live? If you go to your local hardware shops you will get them much cheaper. Let me know if you need more info

I found [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10/dp/B005T63BJM) which is $77 :)

>like the way higher initial costs for a somewhat useable gaming

What do you consider usable? Because it doesn't actually take much to hit 30fps at 1080p which is what most console games run at. It is expensive to run the latest games at the highest possible settings at high resolutions but if your target is just a "console like experience" it is not true that a PC is more expensive they are very comparable in fact.

Here let me build you a PC

Graphics Card (280 after rebate)

Ram (50)

Motherboard (60 after rebate)

CPU (160)

HDD (48)

Mouse + Keyboard (15 after rebate and discount code)

Case (30 after rebate and discount code)

PSU (20)

Total Price - $623 compare that to the price of an XBOX ONE X (399 489 on sale). For $224 134 more you get a gaming pc that can play any game released in 2018 on ultra high and get 60+fps at 1080p which is more than a console can claim, and that is not even including the fact that you now have a good PC and PCs do a fuckload more than just play videogames.


Now take out $200 (buy an older GPU/CPU) and you can build a PC that matches the capabilities of a console. Playing games on medium/high (which is what consoles run) at 1080p and 30fps.

Also that PC has room for improvement throughout the years of ownership. It can use an SSD and another 8 gig stick of ram and more HDD storage. Possibly even aftermarket fans to put on the CPU to overclock it.

The ONLY advantage that consoles have over PC is exclusive titles that never get released outside of that particular console. And even that eventually becomes false because it is only a matter of time until every console can be emulated on PC.

Edit: Also you can add $60 to the price of the Xbox because if you want to play multiplayer you need xbox live. So really its $160 more. This also doesn't include the fact that no storefront can even come close to matching the sales during steam summer sales. Let's be super conservative and say you save $30 a year on steam sales for games that you wanted to buy, so that puts us down to $130 more than an Xbox One X while having higher graphical capabilities and also having the benefit of being a PC and not just a console that plays games/streams netflix.

It doesn't have to be expensive ram

honestly the 970 is up at the moment. like i said i couldnt sell it for 140 6 weeks ago. im seeing them go for 170. and honestly ram for DDR3 30-40 a stick is quite fair. its only going to go down.

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-1x8GB-Desktop-Memory/dp/B005T63BJM link to ram i found. corsair 8gb sticks that are comparable to yours.

I sold my amd fx 9590 the mobo and 2 8gb sticks for about 200 bucks a few weeks back. Basically half off MSRP at the time. problem is older stuffs MSRP doesnt change. why would it? some sucker is going to pay 500 for gtx 970? sure even though for that you can get a 1080.

I'm looking to buy some more ram for my computer. I have a mobo that supports triple channel memory, and I have 6 slots. So can I just buy a triple channel kit and plug them in alongside my existing memory, or do I need to replace the whole thing? Could I buy 3 single sticks of the same model and use them instead of a buying triple channel? Also, what else do I need to take anything else into consideration when shopping for ram?

I'm looking at buying 3x of these. Would that work, and is it a good deal?

Relevant specs:

Mobo: P6X58D-E
CPU: i7 950
Memory: 3x2GB DDR3 1600MHz

That's about as close as you'll get, but if you're wanting to play newer titles at graphic quality settings above medium, you'll need to increase your budget. If you're wanting hardware to play "high end games on great graphics" and 2 8GB sticks of DDR3 RAM, you'll want to save up at least $600 (accounting for shipping and tax).

Awesome! Ok so I have decided that if I want a pc that’s better than the prebuilt one that I already have, I’m going to have to spend more. Therefore I have raised my budget to the $350 to $400 range. I have also assembled a list of parts that I would like to run by you because you seem like you know what you are doing.

Ok, so you're looking for DDR3 RAM specifically.

Something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory/dp/B005T63BJM

It doesn't have to be that specifically, but DDR3 is the important bit. It's possible you could match up the RAM more specifically, but DXDiag won't really give you anything more than what you listed there. What's the model number on your current RAM? That could tell you what speed it is. You want to either match or exceed the speed of your current RAM (at which point the new stuff will drop down to match the old stuff).

Not 100% sure about the 8pin port but I think it's in ok. Never seem to have GPU problems.
As for the memory, pretty sure it's this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10-Vengeance-Performance-Memory-Black/dp/B005T63BJM/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=corsair+vengeance+8gb&qid=1562021891&s=gateway&sr=8-6
My PSU is a CX 600.

Would there be a downside to having 24GB of RAM using 2x4GB and 2x8GB sticks?

I would use two of these sticks (which I already have): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CRSM48/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

And this kit: (which I have to buy): http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10/dp/B005T63BJM/ref=pd_rhf_dp_s_cp_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1VAPF3D7M5K3VB46ETFS

And yes, they would be paired so that the 4GB sticks and the 8GB sticks run in dual-channel mode.

Up until two weeks ago I had 4x4GB of RAM. One of the sticks failed, so I now have 12GB. I routinely use up all 16GB RAM when running some very RAM-intensive text processing workloads. Having more RAM will help with this, my objective is to go up to 32GB next year. My motherboard supports up to 32GB of RAM (ASUS H87M-E) so there is no problem there.

if you currently have 1 8 gb ram stick go with the

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10/dp/B005T63BJM

its 100% compatible

You can never have enough Ram... well yes you can but sitting at 4gbs right now so adding another 8gbs would defiantly make my 3d modelling a little easier

edit: Hello, Goodbye~

8GB of ram is ~$60. As games get more intricate there is a need for more ram. Phones are getting more ram, consoles are getting more ram, every electronic is getting more ram. Would you complain that Battlefront 2 needs too much disk space? Fuck no. There is a technical requirement for what the program is outputting and in the end your gameplay experience is going to be worse on 8gb. Complaining that it doesn't run well on 8gb makes it sound like there should be an expectation for it to run well on 8gb, and there shouldn't. What they are making is beyond what 8gb can provide. Next you are going to be complaining that water is too wet.

I'm not shifting goal posts, every time someone says "the game isn't well optimized" when in reality their hardware doesn't meet the requirement for smooth gameplay, it makes it seem like the devs didn't do the work when the problem is you bought something you couldn't run well.

If you can complain about whatever you pay for, then buy some more fucking RAM and complain about that. Fuck me I can't even believe this conversation is happening.

I'll even put in a link for you:
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-1x8GB-Desktop-Memory/dp/B005T63BJM

I have one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory/dp/B005T63BJM

And the other one:
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeancer-low-profile-8gb-ddr3-memory-kit-cml8gx3m1a1600c10

The other one is lowprofile but other than that I was under the impression that they were similar.

I have a Apex MI-008

My only complaint is that certain ram stick will be too tall.
ie: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T63BJM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

right now the power supply sits flush on top of the sticks.
