These are my specs. I need to upgrade my RAM because GTA V is using it all up. I'd like to buy 2 more 4GB RAM sticks but I was wondering, I have 4 RAM slots on my mobo but it's only dual channel. Would it it be better just to buy 2 8GB RAM sticks? If at all possible I'd like to still use the RAM I have now instead of having to buy all new. If not, could you recommend some good but cheap 2x8GB RAM.. Thanks guys.

Hi, I did the same thing the last poster just said and I have 4x4gb setup, but beware I am not able to run at the marked 1866mhz that my ram offers, I can only run at 1333mhz, overclocking or xmp does not work, I'm not sure if it is a problem with my amd mobo and processor or what but that is one issue I want to make you aware of.
