My RAM is currently 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1399MHz (18-18-18-38). I've taken a look inside and I was able to read TeamGroup Vulcan 8GB DDR4 3000 on one of them.

The one I'm looking at to upgrade to is Kingston HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory. Is this a good choice or are there better options you would suggest? Thanks

Go into the overclocking section. Find dram timing controls and see if you can change the multiplier from *14 to *16 and that should be 3200mhz.

I notice you are running an old bios on your motherboard, updating the bios can be beneficial but it comes with risks.

Do you know how to do this and feel comfortable doing so ?

I don't know how to do this and I'm fairly inexperienced with that stuff. What are the risks too?

The worst case scenario is the new bios dosnt work properly and makes your motherboard useless.

There is a lot of benefits also like ram compatibility.

I would suggest you read up on updating bios and how to do so, and pros and cons.

You can still upgrade your ram to 16gb if that was your main goal.
