Hi, i´m new to this and was wondering if you could help me with some doubts
My Specs:
Ram: 4 GB DDR3
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU@ 3.20 GHz (4 CPUs) ~3.2GHz
Graphic Card: Nvidia GeForce GT 730
Motherboard: Asus H81M-K
Doubts:
1) How do you clean it? i got this build a year or 2 ago and it´s kinda dusty inside but im not sure about using the vacuum
2) I got 2 slots for ram and i wanna buy another DDR3 with 4 in order to have 8, any brand will do?
3) I want to update my Graphic card for something better but not so expensive, i was thinking about a GTX 950, is it good? and can my motherboard handle it?
4) What do i do besides putting them? i know where they go and how to put them but after that do i have to install something or do something on the computer?
5) is it important where the graphic card comes from? i mean ASUS, EVGA, ZOTAC, etc
Thanks

1) Compressed air is the go to, those cans of compressed air are great.
2) You should purchase a new kit completely if you want new RAM, mixing kits are not a good idea. (Example kit:http://pcpartpicker.com/product/nBCwrH/patriot-memory-pv38g160c9k)
3) I would recommend a 1050 over a 950, newer hardware, solid card.
4) There are many tutorials on how to replace GPUs, generally you uninstall your current drivers, power down and change hardware, boot up and re-install your new drivers.
5) Nope. Its just the cooler and the company you wish to deal with. With the 10xx series cards, it really dosent matter.
