Hello. I saved some money and i'd like to buy another RAM memory stick for my pc.
But the thing is the current RAM memory stick seems to me pretty weak for a "gaming" budget pc like mine. Should i go for a gaming memory stick or keep it with this one http://www.pcgarage.ro/memorii/kingston/valueram-4gb-ddr3-1600mhz-cl11-bulk/

Right, if you absolutely need to save, you can go for 6gb's of memory instead of the typical 8gb. Keep in mind the 6gb's will usually be 3 modules in 2gb each, as opposed to 2x4gb each respectively. And yes, always ALWAYS buy the same brand memory sticks to eliminate any chance of crashes due to incompatible frequencies and/or timing errors.

just bought a new pc 2 weeks ago.
Got a GTX 750 Ti Asus 2gb DDR5 and an i3 4170 3.7GHz... seems fine to me atm. The only thing i run out of during games is Memory. It gets to 60-90% too fast. Ofc i have no problem playing the games i want to play (fallout 4, bf4,bf3,csgo,dying light,witcher 3,etc) but sometimes i wanna look up on chrome or do other stuff while in still in game without having any lag doing that. But I guess i dont need any memory yet... Im low on money ,i should buy 2 same brand memory RAM sticks that are meant for gaming later right?
