Nope. 1x16GB of RAM, case has poor airflow and no mention of board and psu.

If I upgraded the memory to 2x8 would that be better than 1x16?

The only issues I see are limited airflow and probably proprietary connectors

but if I couldn’t upgrade it I would probably just buy everything elce except the ram, cpu, ssd, gpu and use those parts in a new pc case.

Seems expensive, for 1700usd you can build a decent AM5 system .

(and the 8GB 4060...)

I'd prefer 1*16GB Ram where I can add another 16GB myself. But 4800MHz is low

You want a set of 2x16GB.

Yeah I was thinking that I cauld buy just 1 new stick but I heard that if you have 2 different brands of ram it can be a bit buggy and unstable so I’ll probably have to buy a 2x16 set of ram.
