I just want to know if I can get the same thing cheaper anywhere else, or if I can get something better for less money.

PS: I bought the motherboard and CPU bundled for 100 bucks, and I have already bought the case, so those things cant change

i would suggest getting a single 4GB stick of ram now and then buying another 4gb stick once prices come down.  if you got the money, get a 2x4GB kit now.

As Highroller said, Go for a single 4GB stick (or single 8GB if you have more money to splurge). This is purely for upgradeability. In the future if you want more ram (say between 8 and 16GB) you'll need to dump those 2GB Sticks. The more GB of ram in a single dimm, the more you can add later. 

As your mobo has 4 ram slots

2GB sticks: Max of 8GB

4GB sticks: Max of 16GB

8GB Sticks Max of 32GB

 For that reason I'd recommend a 4 or 8 gig stick.

 single 4GB Stick ($35): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104261

single 8GB Stick ($60): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148540

why such a beastly mobo on a $400 build?

5

Get a 970 mobo instead of this one and add the difference to the gpu and get a 7870.
