 First of all, thank you for reading this!

     I want to upgrade my pc to:

mobo: P8H61-M lx3 r2.0;

cpu: I5-2500K;

gpu: GTX 1050Ti

 

But i have no idea about ram. I want to buy 8 gb_s of it (DDR3) but I don't know anything about it.

Please help me!

   Thank you for your attention!

 

P.S Is 430W psu enough or should I buy a better one. Please suggest wattage of required psu.

430W is fine. Just make sure it is a trustworthy PSU. Ram doesnt matter too much. 8GB is plenty. as long as it is compatible it works

I know that it uses ddr3 but on the current ram there is written UDDIM. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

 

U DIMM means it's unregistered. basically it's regular ass ram as opposed to registered or ECC RAM. so any regular DDR3 should work. xmp and other overcloked might not go at it's marketed speed but it will work.

Primary System

  • CPU
    Ryzen R6 5700X
  • Motherboard
    MSI B350M mortar arctic
  • RAM
    32GB Corsair RGB 3600MT/s CAS18
  • GPU
    Zotac RTX 3070 OC
  • Case
    kind of a mess
  • Storage
    WD black NVMe SSD 500GB & 1TB samsung Sata ssd & x 1TB WD blue & x 3TB Seagate
  • PSU
    corsair RM750X white
  • Display(s)
    1440p 21:9 100Hz
