I have a 4 gb Hyperx fury ram installed in my pc . i want to upgrade my Ram to 8 gb or say 4+8=12 gb ram or way you guys would do if you were me , which would you guys advice ?
I am not sure which speed and timing etc is my Ram . would you guys please direct me which Ram to buy . Links to the correct ram for purchase will be highly helpful.
I play games like dota 2, counter strike, i want to upgrade the RAM as i am planning to play PUBG, COD Modern warfare Remastered which i got as a gift (Yes my graphics card can support those games )

I have a Ausus motherboard :M5A97 R2.0

I feel more RAM is better than faster RAM performance in your situation.

I am not knowledgeable in the intricacies of RAM speed, timing etc.

Your RAM is Kingston HyperX Fury 4GB 1866Mhz CL10 DDR3. So you need to go with the RAM with the same latency.
You need more RAM than faster RAM. You need to go with another 4GB so that it runs in Dual Channel Memory Configuration.
So you can go with this same RAM: *www.amazon.in/dp/B00J8E91BI/ref=pd...b42-ad2c-f0421857aaf5&pf_rd_i=B0089JIDLC&th=1
