I am upgrading my ram for the first time, I am currently at 4 gigs and I am going to add 8 more gigs to it. I was wondering what ram would be the best for my mobo. I know my mobo supports ddr3 but I am not sure if there are any other factors I need to know. My mobo is a msi 760GM -E51, 780G. Would appreciate links to some compatible ram preferably 70 bucks and under as I am under a budget thanks in advance.

Compatibility list for the 760GM-P34 (FX)

A module that's not on the list might work, but hasn't been tested

You can run Speccy and find out what current RAM is installed and get the same brand, all DIMMs should be the same (brand, speed, type) if possible.

It's a good buy, G.Skill makes good quality RAM.

It's good memory, I don't know if it would work, you can always return it.
