Ram link that im using (Its in my language) https://www.1a.ee/arvutikomponendid_vorgutooted/malu_hdd_ssd/ram_flash_malu/kingston_4gb_pc17000_ddr4fury_dimm_hx421c14fb4

You could get 2 more of the exact same sticks. But Why?
-----------------------------------------------------------

I have 16GB RAM. I use professional engineering and graphics programs.
Just as a test I opened tons of windows with lots of tabs, Photoshop and a 3D model and a game.
As hard as I tried, I could never get my PC to use more than 8GB RAM.

I am sure there are special reasons to use 16 or more GB RAM.
If you know that you more than 8GB RAM, cool.
If you don't know if you need more than 8GB, you don't.

What do you mean "But Why"?

2 More of the exact same sticks is okay then?

What I mean by 'But Why?' is more RAM won't make your system faster.
If you never use more than 8GB, your system won't slow down when you go over and start using the swap file.

16GB RAM is a waste of money for most people.

I want more Ram because of PUBG and if its not worth it then what else should i think of upgrading?

It will probably work, it may not work at advertised timings. Check your RAM utilization. I typically use between 7GB and 9GB (I run 16GB). If you're not using more than 8, it won't make a difference, but if you're using 8.1GB, it will.
