I would go to newegg or tigerdirect but ya that simple. Corsair ram is good just make sure its ddr2 and you can prob find the same ram you have now so they match.

8 Gigs Corsair 1600
HAF 922

Your motherboard doesn't permit the use of DDR3 memory, just went and goggled your board. You have to get the memory type supported by your board, if you want ddr3 you would need a motherboard upgrade.
