Already have 4gb ram. Want 4gb more.

A

I currently have 2 x2gb RAM, and want 4 GB more. Should I go 2,2,4 or 2,2,2,2. Are Flipkart's prices fair ?

Additionally, I have 5k to spend. After the RAM, what would be a good upgrade ?
Current config: i5 2500, DH67BL , Sapphire 6870 , 2x2gb gskill ripjaws , Seagate 1TB, Bijli

Buy another 4 GB stick, which will give you the option of adding another 4GB in future.

BTW, what is the model of the present RAM set which you have got?

A

^ F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
Can I get a decent kb+mouse combo (or only mouse?) with the remaining of the 5k ?

why you want more ram?

Coz I dont want to shut rainmeter, other browsers, and a lot of other useful background apps before starting Battlefield.
I also use Photoshop a lot.

Flipkart has the F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL for 1665. Can I get a decent kb+mouse combo for 3.5 k ?

^is it giving drop in fps with all those on? is it becoming unplayable? which settings you use? what fps you get when those processes are on and off?

@op,
buy the same rams you are actually having now.they will work well or it will create problems.btw is it gskill? and about spending another 5k i will suggest a good cabinet to keep your pets cool.

Yea its Gskill. And I have 5k including the RAM, so its more like 3.5k. Ive always wanted to have a nice ,comfy gaming mouse with customisable buttons

Never really tried with them on. After finding a nice server on battlelog and then waiting for the level to load, i dont really wanna take a chance. But I will try that and post it here, now that you mention it.
Either way, I play with everything 1 level below Ultra (not sure what its called)

^^
with remaining 3.5k spend 1.5k on logitech g400 gaming mouse.just awesome mouse and if you can add bit more to your 2k you can buy nzxt gamma at around 2.5k.

The budget is pretty tight. Ill get a new cabby after my next freelance website. Maybe a decent mousepad to go with the g400 ? (read great reviews about it btw)

Buy that F3-12800CL9S-4GBXL, but not from flipkart. Its overpriced IMO. In local market you will get that ~1.5K

Mouse: G400
Keyboard: Sidewinder x4

sidewinder x4 , or G11 ?
any pros/cons ?
also, can someone suggest a budget mousepad ?

^^ G11?
Are you talking about Logitech G110?

It does affect the fps quite a bit (i play bf3). It consumes >2GB RAM. The OP really needs the extra RAM if he wants to run things in background. Even firefox with lots of tabs + bf3 causes lag.

umm.. I found a link to this: Review - Logitech G11 | bit-gamer.net over here Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard Review | bit-tech.net.

Thanky guys. I got the sidewinder x4 (Rs 2250) , the g400 (Rs 1500) and gSkill RipjawsX 4GB (Rs 1500) from lamington road.
Had to run around a lot but I'm happy I didnt overpay. Now all I need to do is collect a lil more money for a mousepad. Any budget options ?

^^
razor one comes for around 400/-
