I only bought my PC 7/8 months ago so I feel really tight to just go and buy a new one and replace that when I’ve had it for so little time.
RAM: Look for a kit of DDR3-1600 16GB (2 x 8GB) so you can run dual-channel. Double check your motherboard manual which slots you should be using. You can find the manual online too if you've lost the booklet.

I like using PCPartPicker to shop for parts. This site will help you shop for the best deals and check compatibility for you.
