Hello
OK it's my first time to ask here and hope for some understanding and help.
A good friend is trying to upgrade some components of his system and since apparently I'm getting too old for this (and he older) I came seeking advise..
His motherboard is this one: Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3648
Three things to be upgraded if possible..
-------------
1 - memory: right now 8GB of Vengeance® — 8GB Dual Channel DDR3
http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c8
we want to go to 16GB.
He has some freezing while running Windows7 64 from time to time and thinks of dropping the above two for new ones (though I am not sure since they seem so nice..)
Is there a point going to Kingston HyperX and which one is better and compatible?
-------------
2 - add SSD for OS
I believe that this Samsung looks nice
http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-7TE250BW
but any opinion as to why not is welcome..
-------------
3 - and finally graphics card
where I'm completely out..
Speccy reports
and I know it has 4Gb of memory..
Which graphics card should we go for better than this (not extremely expensive..) and compatible?
If I'm not mistaken we're looking for PCIex16

... I feel so old..
