Define 'significant'
Significant to me means +10% (in fps perhaps
)More is almost always better. We can agree on that.
Transferring from ps4 to new gaming pc- specs here, Good?

With a 5800X, you could well see a 10%+ uplift in some areas, if you aren't consistently GPU limited, from faster system memory. I saw about as much on my 5800X setup simply from going from budget Hynix CJR stuff to the same capacity and configuration of decently binned Samsung B-bie, with both setups at the same 1900/3800 FCLK/MTs and best-effort tuning on each (which resulted in much tighter timings on the Samsung stuff).
Admittedly, I didn't test single vs. dual channel, but EDO is one of the more system memory performance dependent games I've seen, and I would expect some kind of uplift. Can't say if it would be as significant as tightening up most relevant timings though.
Capacity wise, I have seen the game use a fair bit of memory, if allowed to. More than 8GiB probably would not directly translate into higher FPS once an area has loaded, but it would likely reduce loading times/hitching/pop-in as fewer assets would need to be evicted and then reloaded.
you really know your stuff , no argument here , agree completely ,duel channel really saves the day with this game lots of memory switching going , all the procedural terrain results in lots of memory being written and removed over and over
That's true, probably thinking more on the lines of "gaming desktop" as advertised use, I can see where an office PC that does email and word documents and nothing else might never need more than 8gb and therefore a single stick would be ok if they can't get 2x4gb. I wouldn't, when I was supplying PC's for people, ever supply a gaming PC with a single stick of memory, gamers are far more likely to want to push the PC harder and try to overclock and matched memory can be a big advantage there, we're strange people I guess. Still, it appears this is more a situation like this is basically the best he can afford, buying on a budget is always going to involve compromises.
4 core processor, single channel 8 gig stick, GTX 1650 (not much memory for Oddy).
Will it play it, yes, will it be awesome, no.
Well I played it tonight.. It worked on High setting after updating our invidia drivers and I was happy. I even did that thing where I jumped on my alts fleet carrier. I play with a misc PlayStation controller and that was a better experience than with the keyboard & mouse. My only complaint is I have to work towards engineer unlocks, guardian tech and making money again. Overall I am pleased. 
...and with on-foot EDO? What rendering resolution?
IF the OP is happy, then they're happy and good for them.
Someone moving from Elite on PS4 to Elite on PC will be less prone to be overly demanding regarding performance.
Elite on PS4/XB1 is slow on everything (including opening and drawing menus) and it runs at 30fps
1920x1080 60fps. I played for 7 hours lag free and not a skip. I'm surprised too that my pc came better than advertised. It has 5 fans instead of 2. I'm done with this topic but I like reading the intelligent replies to this thread. Thanks!
That's actually pretty darn impressive. I'd love to see a screenshot of how everything looks with the settings you're using to get that performance.1920x1080 60fps.

That 1650 is probably the weak link, but it will run Odyssey at 1080p on medium, I suspect. Just don't expect more than 45-60 fps certain places. You can always upgrade later, GPUs are getting less scarce and crypto is dropping a bit and the 4000 series will come out this fall. So if you want to rock the 1650 and got a deal on that machine, it will work. Yeah 16GB memory is becoming common, but I think 8GB will get you by. Again, easy to buy another set of DIMMs later.
as i said good to go to many tekkies giving advice glad it all worked for you have fun 07 cmdr1920x1080 60fps. I played for 7 hours lag free and not a skip.

Defensive and patronising in one paragraph, impressive. I asked a simple Q is all, given only a vague ending to your OP. If only my suit upgrade cache filled up as quickly as my ignore list does...1920x1080 60fps. I played for 7 hours lag free and not a skip. I'm surprised too that my pc came better than advertised.

Will do, OD.
Threads like this always remind me of similar ones in amateur astronomy forums:
- "hi guys, new to astronomy here, I have a budget of 200 €/£/$, is this a good scope to start with? (Link to honest beginner-level telescope)"
- "No, that thing is terrible and a toy, you won't see jack s###t"
- "You are wasting money, you can't seriously start this hobby with less than 2000 €/£/$"
- "What are your observation plans with that? Might be barely decent for planetary, but deep-sky will be a no no"
- "I have been observing for 30 years, that 4" reflector is a joke, I'd suggest this kit as the very baseline to have a chance of seeing anything and start learning the ropes (Link to 1500 €/£/$ 10" catadioptric on computerized mount)"
- OP thanks everyone for the suggestions, proceeds to buy the 200 €/£/$ scope because that's the budget anyway, gets utterly blown away by seeing a tiny Saturn and a faint Orion nebula live with own eyes for the first time, will upgrade down the line eventually, when/if the hobby gets hold
Guess it's par for the course for any niche and potentially costly hobby. (I bet fishing or RC cars would be no different)

Haha, spot on
(i still have the kit - SC 8", ED triplet 80/600 - but it's been like 4 years since i last took it out to the stars after being a quite avid visual observer for the previous 6 years. hmm, starting to play ED by the end of 2018 might have had something to do with it
