@johnnorth what do you mean by "latency on your ram is as LOW as possible" ?
i want 1600mhz to be able to run bf4 with out fps drops because now i have got 16gb 1066mhz bought them 2 years ago haha

basically on your ram youll have the model number for example CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 at the end its tells you its 1600 mhz and c9 is your latency the lower number the better as it works faster with less of a delay :) wont make much of a difference but its good to know , and if you want a better fps you would be much better getting a new up to date graphics card as that would be the key ara to improve :)

should i OverClock it? i have a small-mid sized cpu aircooling on it
i dont really have the budget to upgrade everything i will get a new case,GPU 7870 o.c. or gtx 660 maybe better and maybe corsair vengeance 2x4gb 1600mhz
