That's a pretty good build for the price! What are your goals with this computer by the way

Dual channel memory should perform better than single channel

OK, I'll change the RAM to two 4gb sticks. I want to be able to game relatively well on it, but I also want to be able to edit video and run programs such as Photoshop.
