Hi, I recently purchased GA-Z87-D3HP and i7 4770k. I also have 4 x 2GB CMX4GX3M2A1600C9, which I am using currently though only 2 x 2GB sticks since the other 2 sticks are in my AMD system.

My questions are

1. Continue using the current RAM with XMP (1600MHz) enabled buy buying extra 2 x 2GB sticks ?
2. Go for new 2133MHz/1866MHz ram ?

Need some inputs ?

Thanks in advance.

> 4 GB is enough for day to day tasks and gaming but 8 GB is recommended for latest games. If you want to buy new sticks, try to get the identical sticks as you currently have or atleast get the matching speeds and timmings.
