Hi,

You can buy another 4GB DDR3L PC3L-12800 module and install, there's no point in upgrading CPU but if you have a spinner HDD, switch to a 2.5" SATA SSD.

Hi, thanks for answer !

I am considering buying an identical stick of RAM (4gb 800Mhz) or new\used 2x4gb 1600Mhz or 1 8gb 1600Mhz

You are welcome 🙂 I would go for 2x4GB setup because it will give the benefit of dual channel.
