Hi everyone, I will be buying the GIGABYTE GA-B250M-DS3H mobo in a couple weeks, I'm on a low budget and I can't spend more than 500$. Well the thing is, I wanna buy a Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 2400 MT/s pack so I can Dual Channel it, my PC is going to be for gaming purpose (I'm also a Web Dev student, but I don't think that will require much hardware other than a good CPU) but in the future if needed I would like to be able to improve my RAM memory thats why I decided to buy this mobo instead of one cheaper with 2 RAM slots. Maybe in the future I might buy another 4GBx2 pack or straight away a 8gb RAM. Is this a good choice? I mean, would this be necesseray because right now all I can afford is 70$ for RAM memory, I made some research and found that Dual Channel is better but I don't wanna make a mistake given this is my first build.. So, give yout thought about it. Also the CPU I'm gonna use is a pentium G4560, so I wouldn't need any BIOS update!!

Memory manufacturers guarantee the rated speeds and timings of any memory to be obtainable only in the kit it is sold in. If you are adding an additional set of memory, the rated speeds and timings may not work due to the extra stress on the memory controller.

Workarounds for getting multiple kits of memory to work:
Relax the timings and/or frequencies.
Another option you may need to do is increase the dram voltages or reducing the CPU multiplier.

Same answer as above. You might not be able to run at rated speed of 2400MHz.
