Nice spec. You can save money by going with 8gb ram and I would suggest at least silver warranty and 1 year dead pixel warranty

Thanks. I think you're right. 8GB is plenty, but from what I recall, long time ago a computer shop specialist suggested me that two DDR rams are much more efficient than single slot ram memory. Is it the case?

No noticeable difference
