Thank you for your reply, I have many PSU laying around from 90's PCs. 350w critters. I know the CPU can t make too much heat at 54w, but does this 4-5v newer ram make more heat than the old days? I've seen some IR/FLIR PC footage, but can any one point to a comparison between 2x4gb vs 2x16gb say? DDR4 is the standard for how many more years? I'm seeing these sticks refusable for the next ten gears of mobos right? So could/should I buy bigger? Do any PSU's have a surge protector in them or should I fork out for a protected power board?

I already have the z170 mobo. Can't return it or sell it. Not doing any 3d graphics, most work it will see is raw video editing which I'm not in a rush to export in sub 1 minute tines

So far I have only bought a z170 Asus mobo. I plan on using a G4560 CPU. I have read I will need a bios update which might be hard to do in South Australia without friends. Ram I am unsure of, will ddr4 1600 8gbx2 cause any issues? Corsair vengeance pro 2400 8gbx2 seems to be the cheapest option locally. No plans to run a GPU for a while, an rx480 is all I'm considering upgrading to midyear. As for hhds, budget is the concern. Can I get away with a 120gb SSD for booting & a 2tb Seagate barracuda 3.5"? What's the recommendations? The PC is strictly for word processing, web browsing and youtube in 4k. What am I missing? I don't have a the budget for a fancy case, I'm hoping temps will be kept low, a SHAW case is all I can afford but I'd consider any sub $50aud case. What else am I missing? I don't need a sound card ATM, do I need a CD/DVD drive these days? Are there any cables that I need? Will the G4560 come with a heatsink/fan combo? Will the case require more fans? My PC supplier is: Http://www.msy.com.au/parts/parts.PDF http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf The store is literally a stones throw away and for tax reasons its better to buy locally.

Use: I'm building a PC for excel spreadsheets only Max 2 applications open at once, copy pasting between both Requirements: I'll be opening huge 4-10gb files at a time Using 2 4k monitors (30 fps ok) Parts I own so far: Z170 mobo 2 4k monitors My questions: 1. Will the G4400 be able to run 2 4k monitors for basic windows use using inbuilt apu?? (gpu in cpu) 2. The Z170 only seems to support 8gb ddr4 sticks, will 2x 16gb sticks have slower transfer speeds? 3. Will the CPU/Mobo support 3400mhz gskill rip jaws or will the CPU bottleneck it?
