I built this gaming PC over a decade ago and need to upgrade my RAM now. I think it's my main bottleneck for gaming, aside from not having an SSD. I haven't had issues playing any game until now. Escape from Tarkov is the game that has made my want to upgrade. I've been using only 6 GB of RAM and never really needed more until now.
CPU: i7 920
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5

Current RAM: OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3

GPU: Radeon RX 580 (recently upgraded to this)
Plain and simple...what would be the best RAM to upgrade to? Best performance for lowest price of course. Just looking for what my options even are at this point. Been out of the PC building scene since I built this rig.
Also, I just now realized that my RAM is 1600, but my mobo says it only supports "2100+/1333/1066/800". Haven't noticed any issues, but is this something I need to look at for purchasing my new sticks? Should I only be looking at 2100+/1333/1066/800, or is 1600 fine too?
