i know that well but he could add another 4GB RAM later . It is more preferable than selling the GPU and buying a new video card .

For OP and you rockie, it is highly not recommended to only use 1 stick of RAM, because the cpus are designed for dual channel memory, your performance will go a lot higher if you do a 2x4 config over a 1x8 or 1x4 config.
