Should I get this ram?

[maxicusdagreat]

So Newegg has this deal going on right now that if I buy a select motherboard than I can get 8GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM. Now the problem is that it's not a dual channel. That's a downside, but the good thing is that I could get the memory with an Asrock Extreme 6 motherboard. And it costs me $12 less than it cost with the memory I used to have (Kingston Hyper X Blue) and my old motherboard choice (Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3). So should I go for the deal, or keep my old combo? I could always upgrade later.

I highly doubt that the ram is not dual channel. Read it again or post the link.

There you go. Click on the picture of the box. It says 1x8GB.

It means it cannot dual channel without putting another stick of ram with it

I prefer dual channel but you could just use 1 stick for now and buy another stick later (sooner the better IMO)
