Umm....  seriously?? 

Why didn't you just get a 16GB (8GB x2)kit... 

ordered 4gb stick as an upgrade, decided I wanted to have 8gb matching so I ordered another stick, sold my old ram then bought a 2x4gb kit

I paid with 3 different cards so In reality, I couldnt of done it any other way, plus, 4 sticks make the build look so much cleaner :) Yes I did order ram in the dumbest way possible, but we all make mistakes right? (I am so trying to justify this)

You lost a dollar big whoop. 

 

I lost $400 due to returning a shitty prebuilt PC.

There is no such thing as excess in hardware.
