[SOLVED] What RAM should I buy to upgrade my Dell Optiplex 990 sff?

So I own a Dell optiplex 990 sff that has DDR3 4GB 1333MHz RAM and I want to upgrade it to 8 GB. What RAM should I buy?

Usually getting a kit from Crucial.com is a good move. They sell kits for each system, quality is good, lifetime warranty, and guaranteed compatability. This can be an issue with old Dells. Since that has 4 RAM slots 2more2GB DDR3 1333

This is "low density" x64 RAM. newer x128 "high density" can be cheaper but won't work.
If you're going to put a 4GB GPU like a GTX1050TI in there I would bump up to 12GB by adding an 8GB kit.

I put this exact same cosair kit in my 990 MT to up it to 16gb:

If you're patient you can find this used for just a little more than the crucial 8gb kit.
