I am being bottle-necked by my ram, need update but what to do?

BETA7 · Mar 18, 2015

hi there, I made my pc back in 2010 and since then I've swapped out graphic cards and its been perfect. However recently the amount of memory I have just isn't enough and I want to step it up a notch and add more.

the only thing is that I am unsure if I should buy more ram and add to what I have now or just buy a 2 or 3 new sticks and replace my old ram all together.

Current RAM: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145224
Current MOBO: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P6X58D_Premium/

any opinions and suggestions would be appreciated. thank you

you are not bottlenecked by the ram. 6GB is fine for most things today. only recently, the first game requiring 6GB as a minimum is the witcher 3, so if you really want more performance you might want to get a newer GPU (if you dont have a modern one), but if you do have a modern (or at least semi modern) GPU, then you might want to change your platform to the more modern LGA1150 or AM3+ platforms.
