Upgrading Ram and Hard disk!!

[u4upendra]

Hi Friends, the below is my Current Configuration, Need Your Suggestions and Inputs in the Upgrading!!

Current PC Configuration:
Processor (CPU): Intel Core i5-6500 (3.20 GHz, 4 Cores, 4 Threads)
Motherboard (MOBO): Gigabyte B150M DS3H CF
Memory (RAM): Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 2400MHz (Red)

Storage (SSD/HDD):
OS Drive: Samsung SSD 750 EVO 120GB
Storage Drive: WD Blue 1TB
(Detached) WD Blue 1TB (Removed due to health issues)

Upgrade Plan:
I am planning to upgrade:
RAM: Adding another 8GB DDR4 2400MHz module for better performance.

SSD: Upgrading the OS drive to either 250GB or 500GB SSD for improved speed and storage capacity.

Advice Needed:
Suggestions for a compatible 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM stick for dual-channel performance.
For OS - Recommendations on 250GB or 500GB SATA/NVMe SSDs that suit my motherboard. (Reasonable Budget)
Storage - Another 1TB HDD Replacement for my OLD WD HDD either SSD or HDD

For better performance to run the RAM sticks in parallel, try to find exact RAM model that you currently have.

For storage I don't think there is any compatible issues. If you are going with SATA ssd, just make sure you have SATA connector in your PC, and if you want to go with NVMe, you need a PCIe slot. Samsung blue or black NVMe ssds are good.

Depending on your budget any good ssd can be used but minimum you should get is 512, with recommendation of 1 TB. Given your PC is bit old you may want to upgrade, and you don't want to be stuck with sub optimal equipments.

Thank you for the response, I am trying to find the compatible ram unfortunately I did not find the red one, black is available.

My Current OS SSD is Samsung I want to go for Crucial PCIe Nvme 500gb and another internal Crucial SSD 1TB its suits my budget is Crucial Good??

My board has 1 x M.2 Socket 3 connector, 6 x SATA 6Gb/s connector.

Crucial is good. But I would suggest Samsung just cause of brand value.
But if you only have 1 M.2 connector maybe you would need SATA ssd too.
