Hello!

I am looking to upgrade my RAM size from 8GB to 16GB. Is there any particular one that is good? Also can it fit my motherboard?

Update, would this fit my mobo https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-HyperX-HX421C14FB-16/dp/B01D8U27JA/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1509902039&sr=1-4&keywords=16gb+ram+ddr4+2133mhz&dpID=41RnovXnw4L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Thanks!

My system:
CPU - Intel Core i5 6600 @ 3.30GHz
RAM- 8.00GB Dual-Channel
Motherboard- MSI H110M PRO-D (MS-7996)
GPU- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Storage- TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 (SATA)

Your board has 2 dimm slots, which means you have to discard the existing 8gb in dual channel setup and get fresh sticks of 16gb dual channel setup. There is nothing good or bad about memory. They all work equally. For tighter timing and lower cas latency, the extra price you pay is not worth it. I would go with the cheapest ddr4 available...

Corsair AIO. Ram size is absolutely not an issue, you can easily use any ddr4 of any make/model/speed. Ddr4 is ddr4, the length dimensions and pin count are all identical, the only difference being height, depends on the heat spreader.
Get as fancy or not, your choice.

Hmmm, that image is using the link that you had provided. But I think it would be safe to say that the RAM you suggested can fit in my motherboard without any problems. I do have a cooler for my CPU but it does not intrude the RAM space at all.

Thanks for your time and help, much appreciated!
