Here are several choices. You show 24gb ram now, you really well not see any improvement adding more ram. SSD drive would make it faster. I see you have a ssd, upgrade to a 840 pro? Looks like a nice lap top, not much to upgrade.

As Madcrater says mate you have 24GB why the extra 4GB?? it would make more sense to me at least if you were going for 32GB and got a a nice matched set of sticks to be honest to make that up.

You could ask in the G Skill forum too Tradesman may know what is the best thing for you to do.

It`s probably a typo, as that pc only supports 16 GBs

You say Computers, plural, in your thread, you need to tell us the make and model of each pc you want to upgrade.
