hi friends i am getting confused to buy Graphic Card with psu or Just 8gb ram
please tell me guys if i buy a graphic card then i am buying gt 610 not much than this and psu corsair cs430 and if ram then transcend 8gb or kingston 4x2 gb ram
 
Solution
dual channel is always faster than a single stick so go for 2x4 gb.

gt 610 is a very poor card its not even worth buying unless you are using it for hd movies and not for any gaming.

If you give your current PC specs and your budget for an upgrade then we can come up with something useful.

It depends on how much ram you currently have. If you have 4 GB, it will be ok but less than this and you'll find lowered performance.
Now if you want to buy your ram first, consider future upgrades; if you buy one 8 GB stick, you will be able to upgrade more than if you bought two 4 GB sticks but you will have less bandwith because of the single memory module. The final choice is yours anyways.
Hope I helped! :)

Solution
If you are considering buying a GT 610 then you aren't likely to be currently doing anything that is RAM limited.

First state why you want an upgrade, unless you know what part of the performance you wish to improve you cannot properly pick what you need to upgrade.
