My current OS: Windows 7 32-bit
my current RAM: 2gb RAM
My current GPU: GT 630 Kepler

So which one should I buy first?
 
Solution
both... yes, i know, not right answer but 6gb ram no use without 64 bit and 64 bit struggles on 2gb... why I said both :)

save and get both if you can

I thought you cant pair a 4gb ram with 2gb ram since it will cause like problems or so
But I will be buying on the same brand tho

i wasn't sure if it was just one stick or not, I assumed it was a pair. Either way, 4gb kind of works with 32 bit but you still lose some.

I had 4gb on 32bit for about 10 years so I know its okay. you gain a little more back on 64 bit as the gpu ram doesn't bite into it any more either.

I would buy win 10 64 bit and avoid the 312 updates waiting for you on the win 7 install path, and its much easier to install win 10 these days, so many hassles with USB 3 on Win 7 installs.

this depends on age of pc of course. win 7 may be easier if there are no win 10 drivers.
