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

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

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.
