Memory

The memory, or RAM, is another vital component that allows the computer to function. Your processor can inhibit the amount of RAM your computer will be able to use, so pay attention to what your system will allow. Make sure the RAM is compatible with your motherboard for maximum performance. If your motherboard allows for dual or triple channelling, pay attention to that as well.
