Hello I'll build a new pc today because i have problems with my laptop.
I have two options:
1)4 gb ram, gt 1030 and g4560
2) 8 gb ram(dualchannel), igpu 630 and g4600
Also if i pick the pc with gt 1030 i'll gonna get a cheaper case.

A 1030GT will be greatly superior for gaming than integrated. You should never even consider integrated if you want to game unless it's Bejeweled. 32GB of RAM wouldn't matter if your PC has barely any graphics processing capability. You can scrape by on 4GB if you really watch your RAM usage and make use of Windows virtual memory. Option 1 and then upgrade your RAM to 8GB later.

Thing is virtual memory would cause stutter making it more or less as playable as it would be without it. In 2014 i was telling people buying 16 GB of ram they are nuts and how overkill it was when 4 Gb was ok if you are in a budget. Oh my how much has it changed that i wont recommend going for lower than 8 GB. I personally have 6 GB and already need more because some games like to eat ram.

But agree. GT 1030 and you can buy extra 4 GB later.

I'd go with 4gb and the 1030. That combo will let you play lots of games, not all games, well. Stay away from the 8gb and up games.

Meanwhile, integrated graphics won't let you play much of anything. You'd have to stick to old, if not 2d, games.

If you can live with integrated graphics for now and know you won't have long until you can afford a better videocard, that's the only scenario where the integrated graphics makes sense.
