Even though it's easy, you'll still need to get RAM compatible with your motherboard, which will probably be older by the time you'd be upgrading it. Also, he said he didn't want to build it himself. Guessing this includes installing parts later on.

Depends on what Dowpy wants. If you have enough money, get the max you can get.

In comparison, when my mom got her XPS ten years ago with 512mb of ram, we didn't need to upgrade the ram until 7 years after we bought it.

Just saying. (and they still make DDR ram ;])

Also some manufacturers charge a lot for the extra ram when you can save so much money by putting it in yourself, but if Dowpy wants to spend another 80€ or so upgrading it with the manufacturer then it's his money, his choice.
