4GB ram and a 970? Get that ram at least to 8 gigs if you want to play games decently.

r8 8/8 m8.

Seriously, have you already made this build for gaming?

Can't appreciate the FX CPU tbh.. I dont think the Asus 970 is best.

Case is pretty sexy. Get some more RAM by the way.

7/10

6/10 mostly for the sheer bottlenecking of only having 4gb of ram, that has to be a higher priority than the 970.

Some games can use 5-6 I think, but most games you'll be fine. It just looks really weird next to a 970 lol.

Lel.

And yeah, it will probably still bottleneck in many games :P

You might want to not get the 970 and maybe spend more on processor and ram

RAM is like VRAM. Your PC uses it as it is avaiable. Some games will use 6GB+, just because you have like 8GB.

I survived with 4GB RAM and it hanging around 80%, but now that I have more RAM, it also uses more of it. I idle at around 55% RAM usage.

Some more RAM would be optimal and please, if you are gaming change that FX 8350 CPU to a i5 4440 CPU.

It will be much better for gaming and you actually have an upgrade path

Wow that is unbalanced. I give it a 3/10 because you could do soooo much better for the same price

It might also be good to look at an R9 290 in this price range, they usually cost less than a 970 but deliver about the same perforance and could free up some money for a better CPU and ram.
