Next up in our How to build a PC guide is installing your RAM. As you may well have seen in our Best DDR4 RAM article and buying guide, your PC’s RAM (or random access memory, to give it its full and proper name) is the middle ground between your CPU and your various storage devices, be they SSDs or more traditional HDDs. RAM can access data much, much quicker than SSDs, and so the stuff your PC needs to access quickly – like booting up Windows or loading a game – all gets stuffed in there.
Annoyingly, installing RAM isn’t as simple as just sticking them into any old DIMM slot on your motherboard. There’s always something, isn’t there?
