Cool thanks man

1 more question, could I buy 4 (4 gb - 8gb) single channel sticks and insert them or do I have to buy a quad channel sticks for my ram to work? (sorry if my wording is not right)

Yes you can, but best to keep them all the same (make/models) though.

If your going to get the 4170 be sure to check Ocuk clearance section there's some bargain to be had in there.
