Get a z270 so you can overclock not a h270

Rest is fine

More RAM. Only 8 is really not smart nowadays.

If you really think you won't need more than 8 - get a single stick of 8. Then worst case you can add two more sticks of 4 each if you're pressed for cash. Or another stick of 8.

The motherboard he is getting has 4 slots, so he can get another 2*4 kit. Also why is it not smart? Is there any games (properly optimised ones at that) that need more than 8GB of RAM or get a sizable benefit? Not that I know of. Unless he runs RAM hungry applications he will be fine.

What's your budget? I just wanna see what I can upgrade for you.

[stealth80]

swap that i5 out for an i7, downgrade the cooler

 

this is your build, so can I assume $1200 budget?

Swap out the 212 evo later down the line for a 240mm AIO cooler when you have the funds.

Also go with 1x 8gb so you can add another 1x 8gb later

Crucial MX300 almost same performance as Evo, but costs a little less and you get an extra 25gb

and of course, i7

I agree with 8gb been fine for the majority of games, however, 1x 8gb stick costs less than 2x 4gb, and it will keep slots available for the future, so OP can add another 8gb in like 2 months and still have the option of 32gb with out replacing 2x dimms

It would prevent him from running it in dual channel. I can't really claim however that this would affect gaming performance since its been ages since someone tested this, but I would only get 1*8GB if I plan to upgrade soon rather than stick with 8GB for long personally.
