There is not much difference in the 2 of it. Dual channel rams are expensive. $110-$120 onwards.

A single value ram is not so expensive. Wanna troubleshoot also easy.

But if you really feel on the safer side then buy a dual channel memory.

Your budget is certainly very loose to build a PC with your demand level. So would you prefer something value for money or don't mind spending more on a smaller build?

Just drop the ssd and get the same mobo and 4570

Not necessary. Your usage is almost very low usage. If you really want

Change the mobo to msi b85m g43 + i5-4570

Your total sum should be 998

sorry last question...which dual channel memory would u recommend? thank you so much for all the info

 

[Hailgod]

dual channel ram not worth the extra money. People have done real world tests and found that it only increases performance by about 1-2%

Not worth the extra if on budget.

Anyway

Kingston HyperX 1600mhz 2x4gb kit ~ $105
Gskills Ripjaws 1600mhz 2x4gb kit ~ $110
Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 2x4gb kit ~ $119
Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 2x4gb kit LP ~ $119

 

[Ark Law]

Just get any G.Skill/Crucial/Kingston valueram will do

 

[farner]

Thank you all...sorry for all the loads of question...i was thinking of using dual channel as contingency just in case if one fails i still can run on 4gb...now is either i3 or i5...thanks all again!!
