RAM Upgrade

[MeUK]

Hi,

Looking for advice on upgrading my RAM.

I am think of going for Corsair CMX16GX3M2A1600C11 XMS3 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL11 Performance Desktop Memory Kit @79.95. This doubles my current RAM. Will this RAM be compatible with my PC.

If I want to max out my RAM how much RAM will my PC take?

It'll handle 1600mhz no problem so the RAM should be fine.

If it's for gaming I wouldn't worry about maxing it out. 16GB would be more than enough.
