[un1versal]

I just purchased an i3 NUC Haswell from Newegg (through ebay) for $256.49. Newegg had it for $284.89. Ebay had sent me a 10% off coupon for purchases through their mobile app. It was good through today so I pulled the trigger. Now I need to nail down which RAM to purchase, thinking of going with Crucial 8 gb. Will this work http://www.ebay.com/itm/251336690182 Also need to get a wi-fi / blue tooth any recommendations on that.

4GB 204-Pin SoDIMM DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V • 512Mx64 • 2Rx8

ram is ok

which RAM to purchase, thinking of going with Crucial 8 gb.

8Gb is overkill. You could just get a 4Gb stick and save $40. As someone already pointed out, make sure it is 1.35V . Sometimes it says DDR3L (L means low voltage).

I am confused someone please help. I am being told 4gb of ram is enough, get 1.35v etc. But when I search it comes up with single sticks at 4 gb, or 2 sticks at 2 gb. Could someone please give me a link to the crucial 4gb RAM that i can use, preferably on ebay.

The single 8GB stick may be overkill, but at that price it wont hurt buying specially 1600Mhz memory at CL9, 1.35v, whenever I buy ram I buy direct from crucial.com or co.uk (as Micron parent company) manufactures the ram chips themselves. and I always double check with their memory configuration/checker just for curiosity on what they offer as alternatives and to ensure I dindt boob it up.

Today your use as HTPC only may be a everyday PC tomorrow, whenever there's new toys and you upgrade so 8GB may be a future proofing and wise idea.
