With that build, you could add another 4GB later and be ok. With the A series build you would want the RAM from the start as the integrated graphics will use the system memory.

If you were willing to OC you could get a much better GPU going with a G3258 Pentium like this which would allow a much better GPU. While the G3258 is only a dual core, it has very respectable gaming performance when overclocked and used with a decent GPU:

Motherboard: Asus H81M-D PLUS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($44.49 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($51.85 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 280 3GB Double Dissipation Video Card ($189.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: XFX TS 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($52.99 @ Newegg)
