  1. If i went for intel i would buy the i5 8400, since it's coffee lake and will be able to get upgrade option in cpu if i need it in the next 2 years. I was considering it actually, but with the much lower cost of a8-9600 and the upgrade options of am4 b350 mobo i will have a working pc right now, 2 months earlier than if i have to wait to raise money for that i5, witch makes a lot more sense. Or else i could wait for the ryzen-vega apu but, as i said i want a working pc as soon as possible and only this can i afford.
  2. I want to start building a new pc and since i am at really low budget, i decided not to go for ryzen yet. So i will start by buying a b350 mobo and combine it with an amd a8-9600 because it also includes integrated gpu. A. So, my biggest concern right now is if i have to buy 2400MHz ddr4 modules that are supported by this processor or i can buy 2666Mhz ddr4 so that i can keep them when i upgrade the cpu to ryzen next year. B. If i have to stick with 2400Mhz ddr4, will it be ok if i just buy one 4gb module and then after a while buy a second (identical brand-model) 4gb ram module, or is it probable that i will have ram compatibility issues? Same would apply for 8gb modules i assume. P.S. The pc upgrade path i chose is to buy enough ram at 2nd stage, a gpu (most probably gtx 1060 6gb) at 3rd stage, and a ryzen processor at 4th stage. It may take a while to need this extra memory bandwidth at use but it will save me some money if i know what ram i can buy now and keep in the future.
