unless you are benchmarking with accuracy in milliseconds samsung,corsair,transcend,kingston they all perform practically same.btw samsung manufacture their own ram while most other brands including corsair simply sell them under their brand name & not manufacture them.
Owning a Dell Vostro 460 desktop, need upgradation recommendations

Okay so, I shouldn't be making any changes in RAM?

Try adding another 2gb. That will be enough.

That's what I'm asking, that should I replace 2X1 GB Samsung RAM modules with a Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3 ??

Do that... Replace that 2 GB with a 4 GB...

So, if I do so. I would be having a Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz and a Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz.
Wouldn't there be any problem or underperforming issues with a 1333 and another 1600 MHz RAM ??

You mean to say, I should replace all the RAM modules with only one 8 GB corsair ??

for you need to use dual channel to get the full speed of 1333/1600.
get 2*4GB kits.
for i3 2100 getting a 1600 ram is practically of no use over getting a 1333 ram so don't waste money over corsair vengeance.just take out the 2gb samsung ram & run your system with 4gb corsair 1333 only to see if it changes anything.as of now 4gb ram is more than enough for your system so if your system runs slow even with 4gb ram then even getting 16gb ram won't help you.

Pics posted, btw PSU is Dell H350PD-00
Oh god, seems like I'll have to replace everything. 1600 MHz would be practically of no use in my PC ??
why do you need 1600 ram?core i 2nd gen officially supports upto 1333 ram & there are millions of users around the world running such systems with 1333 ram with no issues.if you want to spend few thousand rupees to measure increase in program/game loading time by 0.05 seconds using an electronic watch then go ahead.

Okay then, RAM thing done. Now what about GPU?

Is this the same PSU you're talking about?

Yes, thats the CX430V, but with a GTX660ti, you will be safer with a 500W PSU for overclocking the GPU. Go for Corsair GS500 instead IF POSSIBLE.

Well what would be the cost of a GTX 660Ti GPU and Corsair 500W PSU, any idea?
