I am completely new to building and need some help choosing ram. It sounds like the ram has #'s that are very important! Below are the parts I currently have. My main goal is to play DayZ Standalone and some other games like Alan Wake etc.. i'd like to stay under $75 for 2 4gb stix, but theres so many to choose from.
ALL ADVICE APPRECIATED!
Also my neighbor has 1 8gb stick of RAM he wants me to buy --- 8GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) CL11 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Module --- but I keep hearing I want 2 4gb sticks to dual channel. Anyways thank you for all the help
