The cost of ddr2 is insane I wouldnt not recommend getting it. Save your money and upgrade your mobo cpu and ram as its extrememly outdated and bottlenecks your 270x

The upgrading would be next year so no way at the moment . But i just need to know if there is 2 -4 gb sticks?
I need to get it until i upgrade Since the new games cant run fine with the 4 gb ram its always 100% usage which means the game cant get more fps.

Since you have only 2 ram slots, you will need to replace your current ram with 2 sticks of 4gb.
Kingston has two such kits:
8GB Kit* (2x4GB) - DDR2 800MHz

Part Number: KVR800D2N6K2/8G

8GB Kit* (2x4GB) - DDR2 667MHz

Part Number: KVR667D2N5K2/8G

Since the kits are discontinued, you will probably have to shop on ebay.
Here is the link to their configurator:

Search for those part numbers on amazon or wherever.
Other brands with identical specs should work also.

You are looking for a 2 stick kit of 4gb each.
1.6v, DDR2, 665 or 800 speed.

It looks like it will work.
Those DDR2 prices are twice what DDR3 costs.
And... you DO have a 64 bit os that can use >4gb, I hope.

Personally, I would part out your pc and buy a new modern cpu/motherboard/ram.
