I'd only recommend the 16GB upgrade if you plan on doing image and video editing, or just generally want minor (but still faster) improvement in general response from software. Tok is right though, this guy won't need it.

My mitx mobo supports at max 16GB, I personally just filled it up. I couldn't recommend it though lol.

I'm talking about how the computer is future proofed. This PC will last him a long while and has many upgrade paths unlike the one he's stuck with now.

I doubt we'll be needing more than 8GB anywhere in the next 3+ years at least, I only have 8GB of RAM because some STALKER mods I play need it for stability, if it wasn't for that I'd only have 4GB of ram, maybe 6 at most

Well depends what you do, if someone who does things like renders video and uses maya, adobe premiere pro right off the bat when exporting uses 3GB of ram so 4gb would be a nono for that person 6gb is good but then having 6 usually gives you an uneven pair in your memory slots, when you go to upgrade later in the future to have maybe 8gb or even 16, depending on how many slots you have you will have to remove a stick, maybe even both to upgrade. It's sort of wasting sticks, ur just going to have them somewhere in a box. That's why I gave him 1 stick of 8GB, upgrading will be easier, he just needs to buy another stick and bam done, he won't have to worry about storing extra sticks in a safe place.
