Memory Advice For New Build?

[MrAnthony]

Hi guys,

I'm getting the new components for my PC just after Christmas, but I can't decide which memory will be the better choice.

I'm planning on getting the MSI MPower motherboard, and because I'm picky I want the Avexir memory to match.

I know I want 16GB, but which is the better choice - 4 sticks of 4GB, or two sticks of 8GB?

-----------------

YOUR BASKET
1 x Avexir MPower Series 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Quad Channel Kit (AVD3U16000904G-4CM) £71.99
1 x Avexir MPower Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C10 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (AVD3U16001008G-2CM) £65.99
Total : £146.68 (includes shipping : £7.25).

Thanks!

I would go with 2 sticks of 8, least you can go 32gb* if you fancy in the future

* Yes this would be over the top and OS dependant.

always largest, then you dont have smaller ones hanging around when updating
so yes 2x8 for me as well

Right, makes sense.

Thanks guys
