    You could go for a kit of 2x4GB, but you don't really need it seeing that you already have 8GB. I would either go with 1x2GB or 2x4GB. Make sure the speed and timings match, that's about it.

    CPU-Z can tell you the specs of your RAM. As for that Kingston RAM, i'm running four of those in mine.
