Hi guys, I have a question about what type of RAM should i get for my new PC.

 

I am currently running the AMD's fx 6300 CPU with 4 GB of Corsair Vengeance memory(CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) on a

Gigabyte GA 970A-UD3P rev 1.0 motherboard and i want to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM, but i understand that if I get an identical

RAM module as the one in my system they might not work properly in a dual channel configuration.

 

So my question is which memory kit will perform best in my system.

 

Please include the serial number of the kit if possible.

 

 

Thanks and sorry about my English

 

P.S. I am headed towards Corsair and Kingston simply because the website i am shopping from only offers those 2 brands but i will gladly accept suggestions of other memory brands :)

So basically everything will work good as long as it's operating at decent speeds...

But i must ask will it really not work properly if i added an identical module, because right now im low on cash and i have to first sell this module and then buy a kit which will leave me without a PC for a few days

From what I've been told as long as everything about the sticks are the same, they'll work together, but there's no guarantee what I've heard is true.
