You need to work on your reading comprehension. I was saying those would be recommendations if I WASNT considering his position. Stop being contrary for no reason other than to feel superior. Its not working.

You guys are awesome.:lmao:
What it boils down to is that to me, a PC is an appliance. Any money I piss into a PC is money that I can't use to buy RCs, guns, or car parts.
Sure, 4GB of RAM isn't ideal, but as mentioned already, RAM is cheap and easy to upgrade later. I decided to put my resources into the stuff that's more permanent.
If it doesn't live up to my expectations, an 8 or 16GB stick or ram is only one pay period away.

Why not just wait a few pay periods and get a better deal overall? You will pay less for components in a pre-built than buying individual.
Because you need to draw the line somewhere or it gets out of control. I already spent $100 more than I wanted to.

Not exactly cheap, but it's something I've been wanting to do for a while to stop editing on my Surface Pro 4 which takes forever using the integrated Intel GPU.
I just finished my Mini ITX build. It's tiny, It's quiet, and packs enough power for what I do.
- Why go with a small form factor? My desk is tiny. It's a 47" wide desk with a 34" wide monitor and 2 bookshelf speakers.
- Why does it need to sit on the desk. Can't you put it on the floor? I have a sit/stand desk. Needs to go up and down with the desk.

So I've had the new computer for about a week. I haven't done any video editing yet, but I have done some work in Fusion 360 and some slicing in Cura. Overall this computer seems to be a night and day improvement over my old one, and I'm quite satisfied considering it's only got 4gb of RAM. Once I use Lightworks I'll decide whether or not I even want to buy more RAM or just use it as-is for now.
This weekend I finally got around to doing some video editing. The PC performed beautifully. The Lightworks editing software ran flawlessly (aside from locking up one time), and worked smoothly the whole time. The final video save at the end went very quickly as well.
At this time I have no desire for additional RAM.
