The overall performance of my computer is going down, I can't have too many things open or it will start to lag. Also, while playing Minecraft I will get a ton of lag spikes. I was wondering if I should buy more ram. I have had this computer for 5 years and I wouldn't be surprised if I needed to buy more. Either that or maybe it has something to do with my power supply because it is a CX500M and I recently found out that this model isn't the best for gaming. This is my task manager when I am currently using Minecraft..

Conventional spinning hard drive or SSD?

Hi,
At 65% memory usage so another 8gb's might help that figure.

Otherwise yeah hdd or ssd ?
SSD's are dirt cheap now days.

I have an SSD with 110 gb on it (originally had 128gb) It is a Kingston SSD. Also, thanks for the suggestion on the amount of ram I should get, I will do that.

My pc is 5 years old I believe and by re-pasting the cpu cooler do you mean using thermal paste? I’ve never done that before but I’m willing to do it.

Can you help me pick out a specific ram brand that will work with my pc because the ram that I have now is XPG adata and it is DDR3 and it has 2133 Mhz and it is no longer available.

Okay, thanks. I will be sure to do this.

Here's the official Qualified Vendor List:

I was thinking of buying this, what are your thoughts?
It is not the same brand as my other ram, which is why I’m going to replace my old ram with this. I tried to find my original ram but it’s either sold out on websites or just not there. This hyperx ram is compatible with my motherboard, I made sure of it, and it has good reviews.

There is always the chance that this ram will work alongside my other ram, so I’ll give it a shot.
