Hello all
I'm trying to put together a pc build, and I know I want a Ryzen 5 2600, the Asrock B450M Steel Legend and 8 gigs of ram.
The problem is that on their site they don't list any options to actually end up with 8 gigs of ram! There's a lot I don't know about all of this, but I gather that you get performance boosts from using two dimms instead of 1, but can this mb use a single stick of 8? Specifically I was looking at this.

I know it's not ideal, but this is the type of thing I plan to upgrade to better stuff a little later on. I'm not necessarily looking for optimum performance so much as basic viability opinions. Will this single stick work here?
