Will this ram config work?

[orangebeaver45]

I know that this sounds stupid, but I really dont want to spend $60 dollars on more ram is it possible to use one 8gb ddr3 1600 with two 4gb ddr3 1600? I think I know the answer to this but I want to know for sure

It will work, but you won't be able to take advantage of dual channel.

I dont really see the point of dual channel, all I do on my pc is 1080p gaming and 1080 video editing/ streaming (streaming will come in the summer when i have some time) plus I read online that there is a average of 15-20 percent difference

Dual channel ram matters a lot compared to single channel ram if you play Overwatch if not then happy gaming.
