As long as you dont overclock, the PSU should do just about fine.
But if budget permits, get a Corsair GS600 @Rs.4000


Dont worry RAM is not the most major power consuming device. Processor and Graphics card are the main ones

is there any notable performance difference between single channel and dual channel?

Thank you very much it seems there is not much performance difference, so I'll go with single channel
