I'm building a PC in April.

i5 6500 

MSI RX 470 Armor

 

My question is that should I get 2*4Gb DDR4 2400mhz right now or get 1*8Gb Stick? (I could get another 8 gig stick after 3-4 months.)

1x8GB.

 

Always go for leaving as much room for upgrades as you can.

 

Since it's DDR4, you could even go for 1x16GB so you'd be able to get 32GB later on.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

If mobo is a h110 chipset and has only 2 ram slots then go 1x8

Else if mobo have 4 ram slot then get 2x4

I'm getting 8G stick then.

 

Also, how good do you guys think this PC is for the price? (7500 is waay more expensive)

 

And how well would it perform for Casual 1080p Gaming.?

It'd do alright. I'd go for a GTX 1060 or a used GTX 970 instead of the RX 470.
