For ram I’m only going with a single stick 8gb for now, will upgrade to 16gb later maybe...

but the thing is I live in africa so I’m basically restricted to online vendors like amazon, outlet pc ens.

I’m looking for a system that will work well for standard gaming (not planning on running anything on ultra settings or 4k) and average tasks (like doing assignments on ms and maybe basic programming)

Sorry I see now it might have been confusing the way stated the Ram situation...

I don’t have any ram I just saying a single stick 8gb will be fine for what I want to do with the system right?
