Hello there!

Can you guys recommend a good model of a 16 GB (2x8GB) RAM brand? I have two monitors and like to keep some tabs open with twitch streams while I play Dota and my pc feels slow...

MB: Gigabyte P67A-UD5-B3
Proc: Core i7 2600k

Another question, I already have 8GB of ram (2x4GB Gskill F3-16000CL9D-8GBRM), should I just add another 2 sticks of 8GB each or should I remove the RAM already installed and then pop the other 2 sticks? In another words, which is better 24 GB (albeit different models) or 16 GB in dual channel?

Thank you! And sorry for any mistakes as english is not my first language!

I'd go 2x8GB in prob 1600/9 (Snipers or Ripjaws X), that way you have 16GB in dual channel, if the old sticks will play then you have a bonus and 24GB - never a good idea to plan to just mix two packages (even if the same exact model) there's no guarantee that the sets will play, it can be and often is problematic
