it's actually not that easy to find ram with similar speed and timing if you're just gonna add in another 8GB

GPU is the least fussiest to drop-in

But another stick of ram is going to cost you less then $100 a GPU is going to cost you a lot more. Buy one stick now and use the money saved to buy a better GPU.

16 GB is less than $150 for DDR4 3000, why not?

Is there any benefit to ordering pc parts from the states? Or is it pretty much a wash with duty and exchange?

return/warranty can be a PITA
i'd say yes for better selection, but not for better price unless it's quite significant

just did a new computer build and monitors are driving me nuts.
I am used the the iMac 27" 5k displays, clear crisp sexy.

I got the 34" LG curved and looked super dull and text was a bit fuzzy in some applications.

What do you guys recommend for monitors? Only wish they sold the Surface Studio Display Seperately

Maybe you should get a 27" 4K display.

I currently have the Dell S2718D, but thinking about returning it for this monitor that I stumbled upon - https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX74242

I saw the samsung 27" 4k in store and quality was not good at all.
I got a lg ips 27" for $399 and the brightness and color is not on par as higher end monitors.

https://www.lg.com/ca_en/desktop-mon...hd-led-monitor

I ordered this one on amazon see how it goes.

PPI on that samsung is really now so I doubt clarity would be that good.
