Is it possible to install one 8gp ram instead of 2 x 4gp ram? Other than that question this build is spot on..

huntersw2 · Sep 16, 2014

Its possible but dual channel is better.

Octavien92 · Sep 16, 2014

What if i install 2 x 8gp then?

huntersw2 · Sep 16, 2014

You can. But if you are just gaming 8gb should be enough. Keep in mind your system only uses as much ram as it needs. All the extra ram that it has will not be used at all. Thus being a complete waste.

Whats ur opinion about this build.. I'm new to system building.. I think it looks good but what do u think?

EasyLover · Sep 16, 2014

Hey there. Sure you can use 1x8GB RAM without any issue. Much of the hype that has been created over dual channel and quad channel is like I said is hype

For years I've used 1x8GB and even 1x16GB without any performance degrade. In Gaming it hardly matters but in desktop apps it would matter.

Anyhow, you can stick with 1x8GB or 2x4GB but 2x8GB is merely overkill for your requirement. Rest it is your pocket, your choice.

Happy Hunting!
