Hello guys, Call of Duty Ghost came out today and to my surprised my DS system does not have enough Ram to play Ghost. It's my fault of course since I have gotten used to not even bothering to check System requirements since I got my DS    . Anyways I'm not sure what ram is compatible with my system but I'm looking to buy these from Best Buy.

Current Setup

CPU
     Intel Core i7 860 @ 2.80GHz     35 °C
     Lynnfield 45nm Technology
RAM
     4.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 723MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
     EVGA EVGA P55 SLI Micro E652 (CPU 1)

Hi Force.....  Memory can be tricky, but I do think those 2 x4gb DDR3 sticks will fit your mobo.  Your mobo takes DDR3 up to 1600mhz I believe.
 
Just don't mix them with the old memory sticks.  Swap out the old for new.   Sometimes when the ram sticks' speed( MHz ) and timing( 9-9-9-24 for example ) don't match issues can develop.  Not always but no way to tell until it happens.  Plus, 8gb total should do you just fine. 
 
You could, to play it 100% safe, go to Corsair website and use their memory finder to auto check or put in the mobo specs, to find out for sure.
 
But, I do think you're good.

Here are the varying different kits offered by Crucial that'll are specifically for your motherboard. Any of their 2x4GB kits should be sufficient (and bp22 is correct on mixing RAM ≠ good idea!). The memory from BB looks to be equivalent to what Crucial is specifying so you should be okay.
HailStorm II
i7 4770K @ 4.5GHz
Asus Maximus VI Extreme
16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum
3xSLI EVGA SuperClocked GTX TITAN
Samsung 840Pro SSD 256GB+512GB
HydroLux+XSPC CPU/MoBo/GPU Liquid Cooling
