Hello,

So i'm running 2x4gb ram at the moment, but I am looking forward to upgrade that memory, My motherboard is H87M-P33 (Which has 2 slots for RAMS) , I have a gtx 970. So my questions is what would be the best option for me I mean which rams should i choose because i saw a lot of different rams but i am not really a good in computering. I use my pc for gaming.

Also my PC cooling is kinda poor, because i onlny have my CPU which is being cooeled using some intel cooler and i have my GPUs 2 coolers and also PSU VS650 that has a cooler integrated in it. My questions is should I Buy one more cooler if im going to be installing more RAM or is that enough?

Thank you.

What processor are you on? Ideally you could pick out a 2x8GB DDR3-1600MHz 1.65v ram kit but it'll cost you a pretty penny. Where are you located and how much are you willing to spend? I think you're referring to a fan as a cooler...in that regards, you're wrong. They are known as fans. A cooler would be a fan attached to a heatsink.

Make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard. I would also change the PSU since it's not of a reliable build quality.

My processor is an i7-4770k. I live in Lithuania (kilobaitas.lt / skytech.lt these are id say the main online shops in lithuania for pc gear). Money wise i’d say around a 100€. Yes, I was refering a cooler as a fan.

More RAM will not affect your PC cooling in any significant way. So no, you don't need extra cooling for that extra RAM.

DDR3-1600MHz is a pretty solid choice tbh. However I'm not too sure about need to get more RAM. I'm running 2x4 GB of DDR3 1600MHz myself, and I find it's a pretty sweet spot; enough for mostly everything, but not too much either. What is your current RAM speed?
