ah ok thanks, now lets see if the computer boots.

I have no clue where this plus goes at all, the only thing I know is it controls the 2 other fans in the case. Its from a s340 elite case and I am trying to plug it into a z270 strix e motherboard.

But what is the difference with quad, dual and single? the way they talk to eachother for the ram?

Would like to game and stream and some 3d modeling.

Not sure if it goes in this sub-catagory or not just saying sorry ahead of time. I am looking for ram memory for a Strix z270e motherboard with a intel 7700k processor. I've been looking for 16 gig modules and looking to purchase about 32 so i have expandablity to 64 for the future. One thing I have not understand is the dual and quad channel different modules what the difference.

well its going to be used for gaming and a bit of streaming with nothing too big of video editing. Oh ok i'll keep that in mind. just a little hard to find I find Well I have not looking into that, thanks for the heads up. Really, it would bottle neck since its 3 different products and cause some problems? Ok i'll look in to that see what i can find. I would love to add a second in the future but been hearing that adding a second gpu actually does nothing beneficial. the only bigest problem i have is the monitors at this point

well I thought the 1700x would be more stable than the 1700 well the reason i took 2 is one for the operating system and one for game/streaming and the other drive for storage why not home? yes there is price and one has free-sync and the other does not and one is thinner then the other. that would save me another 50+ i'll take that into considerations not i dont it was just there that all.

Here is the delima i have here not too sure what to do either go with an intel bulid or a ryzen bulid the only difference between the both bulids is the CPU and the motherboard. See here is the other problem I personally don't mind paying a little more for a pc that will last 5 years plus. In theory i would love to stream/play games/and maybe a little bit of 3d modeling if i can learn it. With the possibility of upgrading/adding parts, though not sure about the vidoe cards since they dont really do anything much SLI anymore by my understanding The only problems I have is the following: Choosing a monitor set up would like 2 monitors but not sure what ones to get. Would love one to be in portrait mode. Maybe some lights in the case (optional for now) Would love to keep the price around 4000 nothing past 4500 getting a little too expansive with the taxes here in Quebec. If they are better parts for certain thing could you please point them out on why its worth paying more or less for certain items If I am missing anything please mention it CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1700X 3.4GHz 8-Core Processor or CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor Motherboard: ASRock - Fatal1ty X370 Professional Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard or Motherboard: Asus STRIX Z270-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken X52 Liquid CPU Cooler Memory: Corsair - Vengeance RGB 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory or Memory: G.Skill TridentZ RGB 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (unless there is something better?)

Just a heads if your going to import parts they might get turned away (can if the packaging is not in french because Quebec is an ass on things, if it get chosen for random spot check). Also watch out on the taxes since they changed the law to allow Quebec collect taxes this year on all internet transaction.

changed and added parts to the list wondering on the monitors and the streaming webcam. If there is anything you can suggest that might be better shoot over and I'll look into it. Still thinking of amd but still need a lot of work.

Sorry about that busy week, found the information here but not the socket type. https://liliputing.com/2016/09/leaked-intel-roadmap-shows-chips-2017-2018-coffee-lake-gemini-lake.html Ah so once it too hot its just stays hot, but controlled with a cooler its a stable hot. ok thanks, because i was worried that the case would have more fans then plugs since there is 3 in the front and 2 at the top with 1 in the back. Since the motherboard has 6 ports after some looking in the details everythign should be ok. I've been trouble finding 16 gb sticks on the market do a lot of companys don't produce them? Well in that case i can save a few dollars on getting slower ram but not too slow, so 3000 or 3200 good? That a nice idea i added 1 for the boot and 2 ssd for storage/gaming but they are only 500GB or is that to small? I do own a total of 2 terabits in external storage. Thank you for the advice.

So what is the difference in the 1700 and the 1700x, would they 3.9Ghz be a lot slower then the 7700k at 4.5Ghz and can be overclocked to 5.0Ghz? It would be better to run a a 360mm radiator then at 240mm/280mm depending on the case capacity. Ah thanks did some looking for the fan head splitters they run from dirt cheep to expansive, seen some from 9.99 to 50. Would it be better to buy something around the Cnd$ 20$ since they are usually covered and not exposed. Ah Did not know that the AM4 chipset was brand new, I though it was an old socket just a new CPU for it. Well I did some digging and found that their is going to be 3 more cores for the LGA1151 the CoffeyLake, CannonLake and the GeminiLake. By the looks of it, probably for labtops. I was planning on putting it in the front since heat rises so it would not be a good idea putting it over the CPU. Since the graphics card would give off a lot of heat. Oh, thanks for the heads up, did not know all the manufacturers have a standard to follow. Will consider it since quickly looking at prices the 570x is 240$ and the 460X is only 140$. So would 64GB be necessary in the future or is it just over kill? So memory over 3000 is not really worth it? Ah did not know they made M.2 SSD, Would it be a good idea just to run the operating system on the M.2 or a small ssd and the rest or games on the other drives like an ssd or another M.2? Well it would be an idea to upgrade it when i have more money for a second one. Since it would give the computer more of a lifespan and last longer.

Oh that is good to know, so it just a simple thing to do. Really? I have not heard much about Ryzen so far so the 1700x is better than the 1800x or is it just not worth the price difference? As for the surveillance drive it was on sale a while ago, that was the reason. Why the different motherboard is it better in quality? The memory its better to buy 16 gigabytes than 8? I've always thought that if all 4 slots were full it would divided the memory usage better? So it would be worth the extra 100$ for the 1080ti? But what is the difference between the 1080 and the ti version other then the 8 to 11 gigabytes of graphics? Really the Ryzen core are going to be that good? The only thing I am not sure about the cases are is there enough ports to plug in all the fans with a cooler. Oh, really it effect the data that much? Not really, but soon since I know this computers is failing and crashing really bad lately and overheating.

Hello there, I was thinking about building this of a pc, would it be worth it? I would like to stream/play games/and maybe a little bit of 3d modeling if i can learn it. With the possibility of upgrading/adding parts so it would survive a few years.

Things still missing would be the following mouse keyboard monitor (would like 2 or 3 if possible, but can only afford 1 right now) computer desk with mounts for screens unless they stand by themselves. Also is it worth paying the extra money for the extra protection on the parts? If i am missing anything please point it out or ask. Thanks, TrueHawkEye.
