Quick noob ram question

[eleet2112]

Okay this is a really noob question, but im building my first PC and im planning to put 4GB DDR3 Ram memory in it. My question is do I have to buy two sticks of 2GB or just buy one stick of 4GB... The brand im planning to buy is Kingston at 1333mhz.
Thank you!

you dont need 2 sticks but it will run better if you have 2 sticks. id recommend buying 2 x 4GB sticks totalling 8GB of ram, they are so cheap nowadays it is definitely worth it.

the 8GB kit is just under double the 4GB kit at $80 on newegg.

I mainly need the computer for gaming, and I have heard that no game uses more than 4GB of RAM, is this true? I need to know because im really tight on budged :/
