Upgrading Ram on a Pre-built Computer

[Noobgamer37]

I know it can be bad to mix and match ram so i'm wondering how I would find out what kind of ram to buy for my computer. Here's my computer-https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-vr-desktop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-1tb-hard-drive-black-blue/5712949.p?skuId=5712949

On one of the sticks in the system it should have a label with some info and model number, look up that model number and see if you order the same 2x4gb kit.

some woulda argue that trying to mix and match RAM is risky. I'm one of them. Try to determine a whose motherboard is in the case (this is a fun way of doing it: https://www.howtogeek.com/208420/how-to-check-your-motherboard-model-number-on-your-windows-pc/). You should find a name/model/Part number on it that you can google.

from that you find the fastest RAM the board will take (I'm betting 2133 or 2400), then buy 2x8GB sticks and sell your old RAM on eBay.

BTW, I found this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/questions/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-vr-desktop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-1tb-hard-drive-black-blue/5712949?page=4 by googling the model number of your computer. Live and learnm.
