Right now in my pc i have 2x g-skill 4gb ripjaws x ddr3 2133 and I want upgrade to a little more memory but my cpu cooler Thermaltake frio 101.6 CFM that's over my i7 3770k cpu. Covers one or my ram slots and I can tell that another g skill ripjaw could not fit under it
What I need to know is can I move the 2 4gb ram to one side and add an 8gb of same brand and speed to the the other side
Or am I better off changing my cpu cooler and just getting 2 more 4gb of same brand and speed? I'm not looking to spend allot of money either though.
I'm not sure what I can do or should do here are my complete pc specs if it helps

Solution
I would change cooler to 212 EVO and get another 2x4GB RAM kit.
With 212 EVO you can move fan upwards a bit and it won't conflict with your RAM sticks :)
