well, it is far more powerful than either console...but it wont run console games. But most of the games I play get released on both (console and pc) so...

EDIT: it is kind of hard to compare consoles to pc's, as they are for different things. Generally though, pc are going to be far more powerful.
 


Why just one RAM card? It is slowing your CPU down.

Only 1 one RAM card, because I'm going to buy 3x8GB cards on summer holidays, so I will have 32GB (4x8GB)
 


I would think 16GB on two sticks would be plenty. Why so much RAM? For gaming, 16GB is just starting to be better than 8GB. No difference moving from 16GB to 32GB. Only needed if you do rendering or other heavy duty uses.
