Why 2x4?

superninja12 · Mar 9, 2018

Because its a dual channel motherboard , you can see that at the specs.

ALso if you go to the ram compability page , le here: https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370M%20Pro4/index.asp#Memory
you can see no checks at the single memory ram, but alot at the dual channel ram colom, why? because its a dual channel motherboard.

I guess it means, you have a kit of 2 modules and can run them in dual channel. That is all right. Let me as another thing why an HDD and no SSD instead? It would make your system more responsive and games would load quicker. Do you really need 1TB storage?

superninja12 :

Also why should i go for another PSU?

superninja12 · Mar 9, 2018

stenreisel12 :

because you want to last your components as long as possible, theres a big difference in the quality of components and the assembly of the unit . The evga 430w is trash and is known to die eventually (when? No clue 1 day 1 year?).

Get yourself a good psu.
