Hi I am planning on upgrading my memory on my PC soon and was just wondering what you would suggest.
I currently have a i-5 4690k 3.5 Gz, GTX 970 GPU and 8GB Memory Corsair (I think) with a CX 750 PSU.

Thank you for your time, Rory.

8GB of RAM is plenty for gaming, you would only need more if you plan on doing some serious editing type stuff. Your rig is good for now, I would save your money for a GTX 1070 or 1080 when they come out.

Just for your own knowledge the GTX 970 is your GPU and the CX 750 is your PSU (power supply unit). 8GB of memory is pretty decent for most things but if you want more you will need to provide your motherboards details (brand and name) to get better memory options.

Thank you very much @reddrawrf45 I shall be saving my cash for those items you have suggested :) 1 more thing, would you suggest upgrading anything else when the new GPU is available? (Yes I am learning this PC business as I go along this is my first rig I have done)

Eventually you might want to look to upgrading to an intel core i7 since it offers hyper threading for better gaming performance into the future but for the time being you should be ok.
