Hi Guys,

I'm after some advice in regards to an upgrade and I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to steer me in the right direction. I'm looking to upgrade my RAM and potentially my CPU also if you feel that this is presenting a bottleneck. I'll list my PC specs below and I welcome any recommendations for change:

AMD FX-832
XFX RX480 8GB
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
Patriot Signature 8GB Kit (2 X 4GB) DDR3-1600
Seagate Desktop 2TB SSHD
Corsair VS550 550W PSU
Coolermaster Hyper 212

Quite interested in upgrading to DDR4 RAM if there are improvements to be had, however, if you can see that there is something else that could be upgraded instead or at the same time please let me know.

Regards,

Charlton


 
Solution
Not unless you plan to update the CPU and mobo, neither of which support DDR4. If the CPU is an 820, can move up to 1866 DDR3 and maybe even 2133
