Need help buying Ram

Perrichicken · February 27, 2017

Hey all, I am trying to help ugrade my friends pc but I am having trouble with what to buy for him, I have no experience with triple channel.

He has this motherboard: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131359

He also sent me a picture of what ram he currently has: http://prnt.sc/edvmnc

Could someone link me to compatible ram that would be an upgrade, thank you.

Although this shows how much RAM it doesn't show the type, brand, etc. To find compatible similar RAM we need the actual brand and edition of RAM because usually it is best to get the exact same RAM. It wouldn't be great to mix in a faster/"upgraded" RAM with the old. To get around 16gb new however would be ≃ $100.So this needs more info about the RAM to answer properly.

motherboard supports max of 12gb I believe. its triple channel supported

It may just be easier buying a whole new set but I cant find much info on which ones to buy
