So couple days am building a new pc and i notice that i don't know a lot of stuff about memory and i don't wanna spend like 300 euros for memory because am not sure if its gonna improve my performance for gaming and Editing Videos or editing photos.

So My Questions
1.Can i buy 16gb of ram (2modulas) And after put 16gb more so i can have 32gb of ram?
2.What is the difference between 2 modules to 4 modules?
3.How mutch capacity(gb) is the best for gaming or Editing?

Hope someone anwer me fast because am building a pc and i need to older the parts and i don't wanna make a mistake, thanx you!

Having all 4 RAM slots filled stresses the IMC more than just 2, so unless you need lots of RAM it is usually ideal to stick with 2 RAM modules.

3) If you are doing serious video and graphic editing 16GB of RAM is...
