Hi everyone,
Currently I have an Asus H81M-E motherboard (which is only compatible with ddr3 ram) and one Avexir 8GB stick. Recently, my programs have been crashing due to full ram capacity, so my question is; Do I buy a new motherboard and buy a 16GB stick of DDR4 ram with it, OR do I keep my current motherboard and buy another 8GB DDR3 stick? (I have a custom pc so I can change my motherboard) I have an Intel i7 4790 LGA1150.
I know that the obvious option would to buy a new motherboard, but I don't have much money to splash out on my computer - money wise I would like to just get a new DDR3 stick, but I'm not sure if it will last in the long run and if it is better value for money to get a new motherboard and DDR4 ram.
Also, I know this is probably very confusing, but if anyone can understand...help!
Thanks,
Jason
