Looks like a great gaming rig you have there!

2 things: 1. I'd recommend getting two sticks of RAM, not one, so you can get the benefits of having two 4GB sticks. 2. What's your data hard drive? Because I don't think 32GB will be enough for very much besides the OS.

Besides that, looks great!

Thanks for that, the reason I only have a 64gb ATM, I already have a spare HDD at home, and with the ram I will be putting more dimm's in later because I want to end up with 32gb in total (4 X 8GB).
Is there much of a performance increase with 2 DIMM's

Sylvanriv · Dec 21, 2013

Oh, ok. 2 DIMM's gives a good performance increase because of dual channel, yes. Basically, you'll be better off with anything more than 1 DIMM. So you'll be ok seeing as you will install more RAM later.
