HI!

I build my computer two and a half years ago.

Intel Quad Core i5 4670K 3.4Ghz S1150 
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING
8GB (2x4GB) Crucial Balistix Sport DDR3 CL9 1600Mhz 
Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X 4G OC DDR5 + BF4 
SSD Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SATA III 
Seagate 2T 3.5'' Sata3 Barracuda 3 Years Warranty 
Fractal Design Define R4 White 
SeaSonic S12II-620 620W 
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 
DELL 23'' U2312HM ULTRA Sharp IPS , PIVOT 
 

I want to upgrade my ram to 16 gigs.

should i buy another 2x4GB? or one stick of 8GB? or 2 sticks of 8GB and remove my old ram?

which is the best option? of course the first is the cheapest, but will it work just fine?

 

Thanks!
