Upgrade your setup by swapping in a new Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 model.
It seems one of your four RAM slots on the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Mobo is damaged. After installing two Corsair vengeance 4G modules, only one was detected. Now you're considering upgrading to eight sticks, but still only recognizing one. I suspect a faulty port. You might want to replace the Gigabyte unit. Since your son enjoys gaming and we use the PC together, an all-in-one upgrade could work well—budget around $300 if you need advice!
This model is an ASUS Direct CU2 with an Insignia NS PCW5250 GC.

I've got a second-gen i5 with 2500k—maybe it's time to upgrade both my motherboard and processor... Oye...
Sure, I recently purchased a set of Corsair 8GB DDR3 RAM sticks. It seems the latest models are now DDR4. Would you like recommendations for a suitable motherboard and CPU pairing? I’m curious if this setup remains effective in a few years.
