6gb ddr4 ram

[Juan____]

I wanted to know if 6GB of DDR4 RAM is possible and if it is decent.

A 6GB module? No.

6GB, as in 3x2GB or 1x4GB + 1x2GB etc, yes, it's possible.

6GB is a pretty common level mid-range/budget laptops, but I believe mostly still use DDR3L.


If for a desktop, it makes much more sense to buy an 8GB 'kit' (2x4GB) to operate in Dual-Channel.

Ok then. Im going with 8 gigs of ddr4. Btw is this budget build alright??
CPU : FX 8300
GPU : RX 460
MOBO : Finding a mobo that can overclock well with the fx 8300 at about 3.8 - 4.0 GhZ
RAM : 8GB DDR4 RAM
HDD : WD Blue 1tb
Case : as long as it fits all the stuff
PSU : about 550W??

Pls suggest some of the missing parts
Should i just get a prebuilt i3 Desktop and slap a RX 460 in it?

That build would use DDR3, not DDR4.

The FX8300 is a pretty poor option performance-wise; and will turbo to 4.2GHz, so there's really no need to OC it if you're only aiming for those type of speeds.

The prebuilt route may be a good way to go on a budget, but used parts can be acquired fairly cheap. I'd aim for a 2nd Gen i5 or newer if you can.

Alternatively, the new Ryzen3 chips (the 1200 in particular) are really budget-friendly, while solid performers.

What kind of budget are you working with? And what's your location?
