your game or any apps will stutter due to the program using the HDD for swap memory

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I have 4gb ddr2 in my old PC, need it though :-(. Try and find some on ebay or whatever, you can find 6gb for 20€ in Germany.

A question: Where do you live? It could be worth trying and importing it, it should be tax free.

I have 4gb ddr2 ram in my old pc though my mom still uses it :-(.

I cant find any single 4gb stick of ddr2 (do these exist?). 

You could try and buy one of these: http://www.amazon.de/Speicher-PC6400-Bandbreite-Arbeitsspeicher-kompatibel/dp/B00C5F592C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1419332761&sr=8-3&keywords=ddr2

and ship them to greece, 6gb should honestly be enough.

As a side question: do you have win vista? It eats a lot of ram... A LOT

Sorry i typed cyprus in google maps and it showed that it is an island in greece xD

Ps: yeah 4gb sticks seem to be very expensive and rare. 

Try and close some programms you dont need and you should be ok :D
