The processor could be a fair bit stronger and the memory is a little on the low side, it's certainly not bad but you could have done a lot better.

I'm going to upgrade the ram to 8gb, would that make it better?

Why exactly? You already purchased it. You usually ask advice before purchasing.

Was it a good choice for $500? No. You got ripped off by choosing the wrong parts and paying someone hundreds of dollars to do a 30 minute job.

You interpreted what I said wrong. What I meant is that they're indeed compatible, just not balanced and recommended. Honestly, if you still can cancel and don't want to get ripped off, do so.
