New to building computers

 

 

 I am planning on buying a X-99 E WS motherboard. 

Want to install 32G Ram would I be better off with 4 X 8G  or 8 X 4G ?

 

Thanks

first Welcome to the forum!

 

and second go with 4x 8gb so if you need more in the future you'll be able to add another 32gb

The 4x8GB will give you plenty of wiggle room if you ever need to upgrade your system, as blueballs said. You might also save yourself a bit of money that way.

 

Also, welcome to he forums!

Your best bet would be to get 4x8GB. It will give you more upgradibility in the future just in case if you want to add another 32GB.
