Basically as the title says, i'm looking to upgrade my RAM, i've already had some help in the twitch chat, however people can write a bit more in the forum, and you don't miss anything like in chat.
so the current RAM i'm using is 4.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24) and i'm looking to upgrade it to
Corsair 4GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 Vengeance, would it be best to keep my current RAM in there with the 2x4gb or just to remove it? also the 2x4gb will cost be £62.06
thoughts?

i think you should throw out your old. there is an alternative hyper x fury its often cheaper. remmember that you have to have a 64bit os to use more than 4 gigs of ram

Flamqt, there is really no huge difference between companies making memories like it used to be but people tend to use certain brands because of different reasons. Hyper X Fury is good. I got the Hyper X (not the Fury ones) in my other computer and it works just great.
Here in Sweden the difference in price with the 2 brands are about £2.55 so not much with Hyper X Fury being the cheaper one then.

So basically, the RAM i'm going to buy (this) http://www.dabs.com/products/corsair-4g ... c%20Memorytroop987 wrote:If you are using older different type of ram you cant use that with the new ram as its only single channel and it most likely wont be compatible with old ram espically since your old ram is at 668mhz
will this be compatible if i buy 2x4gb of those ddr3 1600mhz, will they work together in dual channel? also how will i know if they'll fit in my Mother board

As to what I could see it looks like it will work with the motherboard you have. Those MS 7599 seems to be a general name for many different kind of their motherboards and they tend to have a name like 870A-G45, 870-C45 and such.
According to their specs it seems like 1600 is overclocked so might end up at 1333 Mhz instead.
The memory will work yes if you get 2 4GB memory sticks but not at their full potential but that has to do with your motherboard.
