You have 8 GB of RAM and need more for smooth gaming. Upgrading to 16 GB is a good plan. You should look for DDR4 RAM, as that’s the standard now. Since you’re on a budget, aim for a mid-range option under $60. If possible, consider a bundle deal or refurbished models. Let me know if you want specific brand recommendations!

A budget-friendly 8GB DDR4 UDIMM module is sufficient if the circuit only features two memory slots and they’re fully used.

I checked and found four memory slots available. I saw that affordable 16GB RAM was an option, but I’m focusing on durability. I looked up the model number and discovered it’s a 24-dollar dual set.

See? Affordable sticks are sufficient; either 2x4GB sticks or one 8GB stick will do the job.

Just checking in, too. Even affordable RAM can work well for a long time. Also, it’s helpful to understand why the same amount of RAM might cost differently depending on the price. That’s something to keep in mind as you start learning about PC components.

I don't have a direct way to check the available RAM slots, but you can usually find this information in your computer's system settings or by consulting the device's manual.

I’d purchase two units of the SK Hynix RAM you’re using to reach a total of 16GB. If you could manage the cost of 2133MHz memory, you might notice a more significant improvement in speed rather than just adding more storage. This is just my perspective.

You're wondering if the chips run at 2133MHz and whether you need to increase the frequency or just add more of them.
