Ram advice.

Hi,

Just wondering if this ram is ok for gaming? Looking to up grade my ram from 8g to 16g. Mainly for gaming.

Thanks Dave.

That's DDR3-1333; get DDR3-1600 instead.

However you shouldn't need to upgrade RAM for gaming.
What's the rest of your spec?

Current Build is below.

Windows 7 Ultimate N 64-bit SP1
CPU
Intel i7-3770

RAM
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 532MHz (7-7-7-19)
Motherboard
ASRock H61M-VG4 (CPUSocket) 28 °C
Graphics
DELL E228WFP (1680x1050@59Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti (EVGA) 26 °C
Storage
27GB KINGSTON SS200S330G ATA Device (SSD) 32 °C
465GB Seagate ST3500312CS ATA Device (SATA) 27 °C
Optical Drives

Playing most games fine. When playing PUBG the building can take a long time to load at the start of the game. The forums suggest more ram (16G) will solve this issue.

I'd recommend buying a 128Gb (minimum) SSD drive, and migrate your Windows & PUBG installs to that.

More RAM won't be of benefit tbh.

Thanks K.O.Kiki for the advice. Will do that.

PUBG is a horribly unoptimised game as well, but that GTX750Ti is a big bottleneck in that system when it comes to the latest games. 3770 is still pretty high-end, but at this point a GTX750Ti is fairly low end for the more demanding games

A GTX1050Ti for €140 would be a massive upgrade.

THAT much of an upgrade.

Thanks all for the advice.
