Upgrade memory before building
You're just starting out with PC building! Based on your background, you've got a solid foundation from Linus' tutorials. For upgrading your pre-built memory, 2x8GB sticks are a great choice. When choosing RAM, make sure to check compatibility with your motherboard and consider brands like Crucial or HyperX Fury. Look into the specifications, such as compatibility with your system and performance benefits. Other brands like Corsair or G.Skill are also worth exploring if you're open to alternatives. Good luck!

Many of us can guide you toward the best options, so be sure to include your specifications and model in your original message—they’re crucial for a good recommendation.
