Choose between 2x4 GB or 1x8 GB RAM for your CSGO streamer setup.
2x4 is usually preferred, yet neither option will significantly change the outcome in a way you'll easily notice.
It makes the same impact as moving from a 1200dpi mouse to a 1205dpi model. Treating a DPI switch as an upgrade is misleading. Think about it: with an 8GB drive today, you can expand to 4x that later. If you start with two 4GB drives, you’ll need to replace them or move to 4x 4GB drives.
Tell me your budget or country, along with the current parts list. Do you play exclusively in 1080p at 60Hz?
When both configurations appear at similar or slightly lower prices, I think opting for 2x4 would be preferable. You’ll gain double the memory bus bandwidth, which likely helps with cs:go performance and streaming—though it’s not just about faster transfers. Depending on your GPU and CPU, this could mean noticeably higher frame rates, especially when background tasks like streaming are active.
