I got a prebuild pc "Lenovo IdeaCentre G5 14IMB05" and it only have 8g of ram. 

I've been looking around and i can't find the exact same and I'm not sure how many pins there are. The things i know is that it's a ddr4 3200MHz

I'm thinking about buying 2 8g sticks but i would love some help with the right amount of pins and if there something specific i need to know.

(I'm a total beginner and don't know much of this)

DDR4 has the same amount of pins no matter what you buy, if you're buying desktop ram. The small ones, SO-DIMM are the only different kind.

Download CPU-Z, have a look at the SPD tab. It tells you the ram latency. If you get some ram with the same CL as your current ram (assuming you aren't going to get rid of it), it will have a batter chance of working at the rated speed.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Your PC probably comes with program called Lenovo companion.

There you can look if there is data or manual for you pc model.

If not you can contact lenovo suport by phone or email with you serial code and they will tell you exactly what ram fits inside.

Other option is to go to sites like crucial.com,type your pc model name and it will say what ram is compatible.
