The person I'm building this for will only be doing normal desktop work and light graphics. At most play a game like CSGO or LoL. Im planning on buying a very cheap stick of 4gb DDR3 and take advantage of that free stick on newegg. I think this'll be a very good desktop PC with a fast SSD to speed things up
