What RAM do I need to add on this PC?

[obamaputih]

I dont know what type of RAM I use, so I will put some images from CPU-Z

MemoryTab

SPDTab

So, currently I have 1 4GB DDR3 RAM on my pc, but I want to make it 8GB/ 12GB of RAM, since 4GB isnt enough for gaming.

I have 2 slot of RAM (Yellow) and my Channel is Single.

What type and size of RAM do I need to add? Thanks

What mobo and CPU?

Go to a ram web site and access their ram configurator.
Enter your motherboard and you will get a list of supported ram kits.
Buy a 2 x 4gb or 2 x 8gb kit.
Keep your old stick as a spare.

Adding ram is not guaranteed to work.

Knowing CPU will still help as it's the determining factor as far as what DRAM you can run, specifically the MC (memory controller) in the CPU. The mobo may well support very high data rates of DRAM, but if the CPU can't carry it at the data rate, it may well be a waste of money - unless you don't care if it runs at advertised rate, see item item 4:

Google corsair, g.skil, crucial, patriot ram and you can follow the links.
For example, Here is the one for Kingston.

I could do the rest, but I am lazy and you need to know how to do it.

ah i see, got it now. Should I buy this one?
my RAM is same type as that one, only 4GB.

I want to make it 12GB, but 1x4gb 1x8gb is not recommended. So maybe i should buy 2x8gb right?

 

[Tradesman1]

Yes 2x8GB

 

[obamaputih]

Yes 2x8GB
