I want to upgrade my RAM from 8GB to 12GB (or 16GB). I have no idea whether my laptop has 8GB as 2*4GB or single *GB RAM stick. But keeping this all aside, I don't have any idea regarding upgrade of RAM like what type, how much frequency, etc. which doesn't blow my budget! Please help me in selecting more 4GB or 8GB of RAM stick which is compatible with my Helios 300.
My laptop is Indian variant of Acer Predator Helios 300 (G3-572)
Intel Core i5 7th gen
Nvidia 1050ti graphics card.

    It works fine with hyperx 2666 if you are going to upgrade either match another 8gb to the one u have same cl/clock for dual channel or just buy one single 16 if you just want to have 16, do not upgrade to 12 it will reduce you performance because it will not work in dual channel and these days the minimum needed its 16gb with only 8gb you wont be able to do anything i had 90% of the games not loading or crashing on load or bsods with only 8gb i binned my 8gb and upgraded to 32gb hyperx 2666 never had any issues again with any game runs everything fine latest games on ultra cpu 69 max gpu 63 max

    Yo... I know how much struggle it is to play games while stuttering. My laptop is 1yr old now but from the starting it doesn't goes above 60fps while playing Fortnite, I can barely play PUBG at 40 fps and CS:GO stutters a lot. But bro, the RAM spec that you own, that will cost me a lot. My only budget is ₹5000 ($70 approx). I am a student and do not earn and wholly dependent on my parents. So can you help me by suggesting a single RAM stick both for 4 GB and 8 GB under the mentioned budget of mine?
