Help regarding RAM

[SugoiSa]

Hello, I want to get 4GBx2 RAM instead of single channel 8gb RAM for my gaming PC and want to know if I have to buy it in a kit (I probably would but I can't find any available in South African online stores) or if I can buy a 4GB stick and then another 4GB stick and that would be 4GBx2 if I use them both together on my motherboard and if so then I guess the sole reason these kits exist is to give you a deal. Yeah, the question seems dumb but I want to be sure.

separate ram sticks may or may not work together. A pack has been tested and will work... Try Amazon shipping to South Africa?

Even if they're the same brand? Like exactly the same but just 2 of them synced together. Not going for two different brands together for sure

Yes. If they have a good return policy, get it and try. If not, take your own risk...

So if I do find a kit that should work right?

Here's the link of the site I consider buying from: https://m.takealot.com/#product?id=PLID41993842&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-erBztv31gIVQb7tCh3hAAhiEAQYASABEgIeDvD_BwE

Can I just buy that twice and that would work? Are kits literally just 2 4GB sticks in a bundle to make things easier for the consumer or is there more to it?

Nope, a pack is two rams tested will work together, no guarantee on single ram.
