Just get the cheapest 8gb 1600mhz RAM you can.

Your real bottleneck is you GPU. Its very bottom end and is the main thing holding you back.

ram; g.skill 1333mhz 2x4gb, 1.5v ~ your motherboard does not support anything higher than 1333mhz, so no point to pay for 1600mhz

wow your videocard is reallly... weak, even a radeon 7770 going to boost your gaming dramatically

and a much better is 7850

ya the 430 you have is ancient.....ram nowadays is so advanced that there are very small differences in the new ddr3's...were talking like .8% difference in fps. the only real reson you want better ram is for overclocking and latences.

save the ram money for a better gpu.

i agree with them, grab a 2x4gb 1600 (just because they are so cheap and how much is 1333 vs 1600 nowadays?)

and yes upgrade your GPU, and please please, do not be fooled by gpu having 4gb of memory (like what you have) yet still at low end.
Think about it, you have 4gb of gpu memory but a 680 only has 2gb (usually). but in terms of performance, we won't even have to compare them.
Don't get me wrong, im not bashing you or anything, just don't be blinded by those. 4gb is useless for low end cards.

Guys !! I m not much considered about the gaming performance it will increase cuz right now i m getting around 45-50 fps in DmC 5 and around 40 fps in Dead Space 3 as well !! and i m pretty satisfied with those figures....My Main aim is to boost my PC a bit . At the moment my System Rating is 5.5 and i want to just push it around to 6.5 or so ....
Plz tell me the best RAM i should look forward to for boosting up my PC....

You aren't going to really see that much performance increase, but you might see a bit.

Just get the cheapest 8gb (2x4gb) kit you can find.
