Thats worse.
 
Gaming is not the main use for the PC. Its used for work and as an IT Tech I normally have lots of things on the go at one time. I like the idea of 8Gb of RAM in your first build.

same as above, but the 8GB or ram is now in two lots of 2 X 2GB, thus filling all the ram slots.
 
Yeah that's looking good. I think this is about there.
