Old Ram vs New Ram PLEASE HELP

[Shabbegbglass]

So I am going to buy a computer which I will post a pic of. It's on swedish though. I don't want to pay extra for 8 gb ram when I have a 3-5 year old DDR3 (3x4) 12 Gb Ram 1600mhz. Should I buy a new one for 8gb or just put my 3-5 year old 12 Gb ram in the computer. If i buy, i spend money but if i put my old ram into new pc then ill save alot.

Just use your old RAM. You will take a little performance hit if you use 3 sticks since the CPU can only handle dual-channel RAM, but you can fix that by adding another similar/identical 4GB stick or by only using 2 for 8GB.

The other components are fine as well, but I would definitely invest in an SSD.

They will prob be fine and with all three sticks installed you'll have 8GB running in dual and the odd 4 GB in single channel mode, which is no big deal

That's good for 16GB of RAM as long as your old RAM is also CL9.

The Corsair is a good choice, yes 😉
