Hey guys, i got a question: I got this MOTHERBOARD and one stick of this RAM. I also have evo840 and i really lack of ram when playing games. BF4 was given to play for free for a week, but i couldn't even start it cuz i didn't have enough ram. So would another the same 4gb stick of ram be enuogh or should i take this 8GB STICK instead? And also would 4gb and 8gb 1600mhz cl11 1.5v both crucial work together? Thanks for any help!

8GB is way more than enough, just go for it and you can multitask all you want.

Well im not rendering any files, i have i3-4130 / r9 270x for gaming. I've seen benchmarks so single or dual channel for gaming is like no difference so what im wondering about is will 8gb total system memory be enough, or should i have 12gb total system memory to make sure it works fine? For example i have league of legends launcher opened and a few tabs on chrome and it uses ~3,7gb out of 3,9gb ram so i can't even start LoL without turning chrome off.

Go 8, 8gb will be more than enough, cause if you go 12, it becomes uneven for some reason
