So i have a build: http://

And i was told that the single stick of 2133MHz RAM would bottleneck my CPU Hard.
Is this true? And if yes, is there any way to fix it? Like buy 2 x 4GB Ram instead?

Also this is a budget gaming pc build. The budget is 1000-1100 (Maybe can go to 1150).
The cost of the above link is $1042.5 (INCLUDING THE PRICE OF MONITOR WHICH IS $99)
If anyone has any other budget builds in the price range feel free to suggest them!
 
Solution
single channel versus dual channel memory.
if you get a matched set of RAM each stick will have its own comms channel to the CPU. two conversations simultaneously so to speak.
dual chanel memory requires 2 sticks of the same speed and specs. matched sets. Mixing RAM is iffy.

get a dual stick set of RAM and the build looks good. lookout for the 1300x sometimes it is the same price as the 1200.
