What Type of Desktop RAM Do You Need?

There are several different types of PC RAM available and the right RAM for your PC will depend on your performance needs. You'll want to consider whether you need DDR4 or DDR5 RAM, the RAM capacity and speed.

What's the difference between DDR4 vs DDR5?

DDR4 and DDR5 are the most common RAM types for modern PCs. Both will be compatible with a wide range of builds, but their performance features vary considerably.

How Much RAM Should a PC Have?

8GB would be considered the absolute minimum RAM capacity for a modern PC build and only suitable for basic, everyday tasks. 16GB will give you more power and is great for those working on larger files or presentations, whilst still keeping costs low. 32GB - 64GB capacity is great for those looking for a balance between performance and price. Finally, 64GB would be considered the higher-end PC RAM capacity, recommended for those seeking ultra-high performance builds and top-tier performance across 4K monitors.

What speed RAM is best for a PC?

DDR4 RAM, we recommend looking for a clock speed of at least 2666 MHz for casual, everyday tasks and up to 3200 MHz for multitasking, gaming and streaming. For DDR5 RAM, they boast significantly higher clock speeds, which is why it's recommended for high-performance users, with around 6000 MHz being the sweet spot for gaming and creative applications.
