Current Specs

NVIDIA GTX 550TI
ASUS SABRETOOTH 990FX + AMD FX6100 tm
2x2gb kingston gaming ram

Is this setup still upgradable?
I need better specs to make fallout 4 playable and coh2 to not lag :)

Only need to upgrade your sibei chui GPU.
Pump $300 into new Satki GPU and can play pretty smoothly liao.

4GB is enough.
If want to hoot go hoot 1x8GB.
4x Ram Slot might face issues getting them to work together.

2x2 and 1x4 together shouldn't have any issues, personally had this on my pc for 6 months and nothing happened. should be the same thing foe 1x8gb with 2x2gb. but make sure the specs are as close as possible

Personally I had a lot of negative experience getting multiple slot ram to work together.
So I always go for single ram slot.

i usually prefer to just add a 8gb stick instead of dual channel(unless using apu), but my mobo is the older type, can only max out at 4gb per slot, and already come with 2x2gb ram so i just got 1x4gb. now using 2x4gb, but one 4gb stick is two-sided and the other is one-sided, still not much problems except abit oc instability
