2 gb ddr3

[Filip Trusk]

Hello. This is my current system:
CPU: INTEL I7 4770K 3.5 GHZ
GPU: GEFORCE GTX 970
8 GB RAM 1600 MHZ. I was thinking of getting 2gb of ram more but as i said 8 gb is 1600 mhz and 2 gb ddr3 is 1333 mhz will they have any problems working together?

In short yes - the 1600mhz RAM will be clocked to 1333mhz, meaning you won't get full performance from the RAM. Also, if it's already dual channel, adding one stick won't be good for it - You need two matched sticks.

You have one 8gb stick or 2x4gb?

You should look at Task Manager (Performance Tab) and see if you ever use 8 Gb of memory. If not, then adding more memory is going to do absolutely nothing to help your performance.

As mentioned above, adding the 2 Gb of 1333 memory will actually hurt your performance by reducing the max speed of your memory operations from 1600. Not a big deal, but if you don't gain anything, it's a needless hit on performance.

I wouldn't do it. Assuming it's a 2GB stick even if it does work with the DDR3 1600 and that's a big maybe you will lose dual channel support and that will slow your system down 4-7%. If you are running out of memory get another identical set to what you have now. DDR3 is dirt cheap at the moment.

and what if i get 2 gb ddr3 1600 mhz?

Yes..

Monitor your memory usage in Task Manager/Performance Tab for the next week. See if you ever use the 8Gb you already have. Most of us, like 99% of us, never use 8Gb of memory at one time, even with consumer level video editing programs.

If you aren't using the 8Gb you have, the absolute best case analysis of buying a 2G stick is that you are throwing your money away. Worst case is that it doesn't like your current memory and your computer crashes randomly. If your memory is working and you are't using all of it, leave well enough alone. There are no guarantees that memory of two different brands or two different sizes will get along well in a computer.

Just tell me what is better to get 8 gb ram 1333 mhz or with 1600 mhz explain easiest way as posible pls

will there be enough 600w antec for this components:
MOBO: ASROCK H97 PRO4
CPU: I7 4770K
RAM: 12 GB DDR3
HARD DISK: 500 GB
GPU: GTX 970
SOUND CARD: ASUS XONAR 5.1 JUST LET ME KNOW IF IT IS ENOUGH 600W OR I NEED TO Go WiTh 700

If you haven't bought everything yet:

You should not buy a 4770k and a H97 motherboard. You should buy a 4790K and a Z97 motherboard if you are overclocking, if not, buy a non K version CPU and and the H97 motherboard is fine. If money is an issue the 4690K and Z97 is the best for your money if you overclock.
8GB of DDR 1600 mhz is plenty. You should buy either 2x4 gb or 2x8 gb. H97 and Z97 runs dual channel memory only, and if you buy 3x4 GB you may actually SLOW DOWN your game performance in certain situations. If you want to run quad channel ram you need a x99 platform and DDR4, or Z79 platform but I digress, and recommend neither unless you have money out your ears and want to run a multiple GPU scenario.
500gb Hard drive is fine, but I would recommend a 1TB western digital caviar blue for around 50$ if you haven't bought one yet. It's a great bang for the buck item.
Unless you are an audiophile running an expensive high-end speaker system or headphone set, standard onboard sound is more than enough for most gamers. The onboard sound is plenty good enough nowadays.
I highly recommend Seasonic or XFX (made by seasonic) haswell compliant PSU, 650W is perfect for any single GPU system.


And PS. Just run the 8 gb dr 3 1600 mhz, the 2GB is not worth your hassle and RAM is a relatively cheap component (at least in comparison to a system like you are suggesting).

just thing more i heard that new call of duty is coming out and as i see advanced warfare minimum ram is 6 gb so will it be enough 8 gb ram for new games or i should buy something else to play new games btw i have 4 gb vram graphic card

GPU Ram has nothing to do with RAM. 8GB is plenty for modern games. If you are going to run tons of applications at the same time, 16GB ram might be usefull - but like I said before either buy 2x4 gb or 2x8gb... I recommend against mixing 3 pieces of any type of RAM.
