Hello everyone,
I'm going to buy 2x4GB RAM sticks in Amazon for my new gaming pc. I've bought an i5 4670. I've visited intel webpage and I saw it only supports 2 memory channels so in a future could I buy another 2 more memory sticks and complete the 4 slots or it doesn't support it?

Anyway, I've bought an hyper 212 evo too to freeze my cpu so if I could complete the 4 slots in a future will they collide?

Thank you
David

What mobo do you have? Yes, you can use all four DIMM slots with your CPU. By 2 memory channels means even if you populate all four dimm slots, you would get dual channel config only not quad channel.

Better buy low profile RAMs to avoide collision between cooler and RAMs

I think what you're seeing is the term 'dual channel'; you'll be able to fill all 4 slots anyway :)

Thank you for your help, I'm thinking about purchasing an Asrock H87 Pro4

It is a good mobo. This cooler will not obstruct four RAMs. If you may feel that it is somehow obstructing then you can change the position other way around such that fan faces the exhaust fan directly.
