As the system has a space for additional memory wanted to go for a 12gb.. RAM stick capacities are 4, 8, and 16GB. However, since you have a hard drive in your laptop and not a solid state drive, that can be a problem performance-wise, especially in operations like file copying, operating system start time, program opening time and similar.
SSDs provide much smoother user experience than hard drives. Current RAM frequency is Mhz. I do programming with multitasking and play games not AAA titles on it. I would recommend at least 16GB for newer hardware-demanding games. Hi, the larger RAM size the better. Combining different RAM sizes is not a problem.
