Hi i am building a gaming pc and i plan on eventually getting 16 gb ram but i only have money for 8 so is it ok to get 1 stick of ram, is there any real difference between 1 and 2 sticks?
 
Solution
8gb is enough. But I would suggest you to get a dual stick module. The advantage of a dual channel vs single channel, is it's faster (to put it simply). Imagine a hiway, 2 roads would be better than 1, right? Same concept with the data that is being processed.
