I'm Building a gaming PC and I don't know if i should get 2 sticks or 4 sticks I have an Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor StarTech FAN1156PWM 65.6 CFM CPU Cooler My budget is about 700$ I'm in USA
So Should i get 2 sticks or 4? Other People said this (
It depends on the motherboard. If the motherboard only support dual channel the difference would be negligible, but if its a quad channel board then 4 sticks would be the fastest. Yep, the more sticks the better. 4 x 4 is better than 2x8. I don't really know why but I'm not that sure its true.) 2 or 4? whats better for my gaming PC?
 
Solution
The first comment is correct. If your motherboard supports quad-channel memory (X99 Intel Chipset/DDR4 RAM), then you'd be better off going with 4x4GB rather than 2x8GB. Otherwise, it doesn't really matter.
