Purchase DDR5 16 GB

RAM, or Random Access Memory, refers to the temporary storage in your computer that allows applications to store and access short-term data. Having more RAM means you can access and read more data almost instantly, instead of relying on your hard drive.

The speed and performance of your system are directly linked to the amount of RAM installed. If your system doesn’t have enough RAM, it can slow down, especially when multitasking or running multiple programs or applications at the same time.

16 GB of RAM is considered the "baseline" configuration today. This typically consists of two 8 GB sticks or a single 16 GB stick. It's the minimum recommendation for major games like Star Citizen or for games such as Elden Ring or Fortnite.
