Hello,

I was wondering if this was a good starter PC build, I would like to know if this build will work well, how loud it will be, and if there is anything you think I should change out, Thanks.

I know their isnt a graphics card but I was thinking of adding it later on and using the integrated graphics for now.

Would it work with just one stick (I plan to add another stick later)?

Edit: Do you know how much it would cost a company like MircoCenter to build this for me?
 


It does work with one stick but will be a little slower .
Right now for gaming you only need 2 x4 gig . More will not help .
If you wish to add more later there is a second pair of slots
