As far as i know you can't. The only way to pair the RAm yourself is bij having the same RAM, so same timing and speed; which means the same stiks would be best. Different amouts as you proposed won't work that i know. Different stiks might work but only with slowest latancy and speed of both so you hinder one of the set atleast. So If you want to upgrade just use more of the same stick (speed, latancy and size not only brand) to be sure.

yeah i know too much RAM is a common mistake, but I actually need it for some software. Currently use 16 GB and have some struggles during hard calculations/ simulations.

I also need a new SSD, indeed a new case and also peripherals, so I decided to sell the whole system. Also I suspect part selling here is difficult since the places I know are not very useful for this. So my question remains; what is a valid price to ask?

thank you for your answere. Skylake instead of kaby lake is a fair point, but it would only save me 50 bucks tops and that is with a slightly worse mother board. So i think the kaby like choise it worth it for me. The HDD options sounds interesting, but which drive did you find, because the 4TB blue on their own site is 169 for me, although 120 on newegg. But that is the 5900 RPM blue which is significantly slower, and the black is more expensive. If trust is the only issue I will take the risk since I currently also have a barracuda. Again thanks for your reply and (non bashing) thoughts

Hey guys 2 years ago i bought my first system and have been very happy with it. But now I want to do a full upgrade so I decided I want to sell my old system. The specs are: CPU: FX-8350 CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced C1 GPU: MSI R9 290 Mobo: MSI 970 Gaming Ram: 16 GB Ballistix LP (2X8GB) SSD: 120 Gb 850 EVO HDD: 2 TB Seagate Barracuda PSU: Coolermaster G750M Case: Coolermaster Silencio 652S Monitor: BenQ RL2755HM Keyboard: Steelseries Apex M350 Mouse: Sharkoon Drakonia If it's usefull to know; I live in the netherlands and the PC would cost 900 euro's new and peripherals 400 euro's. What do you guys Think I could ask. Als do you have any tips where I could sell my system? Thanks in advance.

Hey Guys I decided to upgrade my Pc. I live in the netherlands and the max budget is 2500 euro's The mian use is gaming at 2560x1440@60Hz. Becuase of some other stuff I need atleast 8 threads and 32 GB of Ram. I want to make something aestetically pleasing with a black build with white and blue accents. After some looking around I come up with this:CPU: i7-7700kCPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 with 2 extra Aer P fansGPU: EVGA 1080 FTWMobo: ASUS Z270 TUF Mark 1Ram: 32 GB Trident z (2X16GB) white 3200MHzSSD: 250 GB 960 EVO M.2HDD: 4 TB Seagate Barracuda ProPSU: Corsair RM750xCase: NZXT H440 black/blueMonitor: ASUS PB277Q This would cost me 2427 euro's I'm really wondering about the R7 1700 and a closed loop GPU/ Custom loop. Especially the custom loop i'm not sure if it would be something for me. What's your opinion, any problems or improvements?
