Alright so understanding that G.SKILL makes pretty competitively priced memory. I understand in the custom PC world, value is by far king. Doing a quick search yielded ~156,000,000 results for Google and ~4,360,000 on YouTube when I used the term, "Budget PC". However, I'd like to put my data out on the web for what I find. I am in NO means a professional, nor do I have any professional training when it comes to working with computers. However, as an avid gamer, I've built myself and friends quite a few PC's and I feel I represent an honest, average, and fair consumer. SO. Join me, wont you? Anyway back to budget. I recently upgraded my daily driver PC. In doing so, I made the switch to DDR4. Looking around, I finally decided on G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB Kit. Its a 8 x 2 kit and for the money at the time it was the best option. I also moved to the Z270 platform and in doing so purchased an ASRock Z270 Killer SLI/AC. A wonderful board covered in classy lush white, but not enough to make it gaudy. It also has a RGB port on the bottom. (More on that later) Next I wanted to pick a new case. My NZXT S340 was a couple years old at this point and I really liked the look of the Corsair Air 540. Did you know a Corsair is a fast ship used for Piracy? This case comes with two 140mm White LED Fans in the front. I installed a Intel Core I5 7600k OC to 4.0, and to keep it cool naturally I chose a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. I'm still using my EVGA Geforce GTX 960 4GB SSC, and the other pieces of the puzzle aren't really important. I've had the PC together for a little while now and I've gotten the Itch to make it a little more appealing to the eyes. Now, I have planned to make this a fully white themed build, and the first thing I need to address is those bright red RAM DIMMs. So, join me! I'm going to be testing the thermal effects on the RAM with painted heat sinks. Also, cheap upgrades to take this build from mediocre to awesome! Also, I'm new here. I'm still vague on how all this works. haha.
