I don't need the ram BTW

But you only have 4 gigs?

Theminecraftaddict555 · Mar 14, 2015

I am looking for the cpu and gpu not the ram....I will first upgrade the gpu and cpu and then the ram later down the road...

Theminecraftaddict555 :

very good decision. If for gaming, you will be ok with 4gb for now unless you do heavy task like video editing, rendering
