Looks good but a 480 will struggle at 4K

Why only 1x8GB? Why not 2x8GB?

A.  Tends to cost more

B. Expandability

Not planning to game at 4k. Gaming at 1080 or 1440.

Is the 4k for content creation then?

[Mira Yurizaki]

Oh, didn't catch that it was two slots only.

 

Max out at 16GB if you can afford it.

Movies and eye candy. I've been spoiled by apples screens forever and I want something with high ppi. I also want to be futureproof.

Gotcha.  Personally I love ultrawides but 4k does look great

I was considering a 25 inch ultrawide but it's about as wide as a 24 inch 16:9 monitor so I decided to go this route.

29" for less.  Do you mean 1440p ultrawide?

Thing is I care more about ppi than screen size. As long as it's 21.5 inches or bigger I'm fine. I would like it to be around 150ppi. That's still nowhere close to what I'm used to since I'm an Apple switchover, but I'm not spending a fortune on something higher.
