I've recently built my new PC and decided that I didn't have enough RAM in it. How do I go about adding more? Do I just buy the new RAM that I want and just replace the old ones while the computer is off or is there something special I have to do.

My system:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170x-Gaming 3
Processor: Intel i7 6700k Unlocked
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+ Cooling (Soon to be EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Founders Edition)
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
RAM: DDR4 8GB Viper Elite Series 3000MHz
Cooler: Macho Rev. B
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80 Plus Gold Rated
DVD Optical Drive: Samsung 24x SATA DVD+RW
Hard Drive: Toshiba 3.5-Inch 2TB 7200 RPM SATA3/STA 6.0GB/s 64MB Hard Drive
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro M
