I'm just looking for some guidance on installing new RAM. I've listed my PC details, and I'd appreciate your advice. I'm planning to add two more 8GB sticks (16GB total) from the same brand as my current setup. Is this a simple process or do I need to follow specific steps? If yes, could you clarify? It might seem like a basic task, but I'm not as familiar with these details. Thanks for any help!

Alright, just shut it down, pull the slot open, and hit me. It’s not complicated at all.

Are you certain about your RAM specifications? Mismatches could cause problems.

The key factor is whether the motherboard includes one retention clip or two. This board seems to have two clips, so open the top and bottom of the RAM slot, push the RAM in, and once they snap shut, you're finished. Remember, the RAM has a notch near the center that ensures it only fits in one orientation. Watching a YouTube tutorial will show how straightforward this process is—no software required.
