ram question

[bigmac9787]

I am woking on my 1st gaming rig and was wondering is it better to use 2 or 4 sticks of ram. I am going to be using gskills ripjaw 8gb ram, not sure if I need to get the 4x2gb or 2x4gb my mobo has 4 ram slots.

Get 2 x 4gb if you really need 8gb of memory.

Depends on your setup. 2x4GB will be better in case you feel the need for another 8GB for a total of 16GB
