Q: What RAM to get? How hard is it to install?

hey guys, i've got a mid 2011 Mac Mini. processor is an 2.3ghz Intel Core i5 with 2GB of RAM and an Intel HD Graphics 3000. i'm really struggling with only 2GB of RAM. at the moment i only have firefox and a word document(libreoffice) and it's using up 100% of the RAM.

 

what RAM do i need to buy? do i need to provide any more information on the machine or is that enough? i just want to buy one 4GB stick as i think this'll be enough for now and it'll allow me to add another stick of 4GB of RAM later if i want. is this a good way to go?

 

i'm not much of a hardware guy so i'm worried about opening the Mini up and accidentally breaking something. how do i go about installing it?

 

thank you
