Pretty much what the title says. Currently own: HyperX Fury 2133Mhz 16gb 1050ti Planning to buy: i5 8400 Gigabyte B360M HD3 Corsair CX550M Crucial MX500 500gb

I've previously bought ram and it's not on the Gigabyte B360M HD3 Qualified Vendors List. Would this be a problem? Also if you have any suggestions for my build please let me know. Thanks in advance My build Already bought: GTX 1050ti HyperX Fury 16GB 2133Mhz Planning to buy: i5 8400 Corsair CX550M (or maybe a TX550M) Gigabyte B360M HD3 Crucial MX500 500GB

Hey everyone, I recently bought Kingston hyper X Fury 2133Mhz 16gb RAM (2x8gb) The packaging said it was single rank memory. What's the difference between memory and channel? Would there be any issue using two single rank sticks on a dual channel board?

Hey everyone, thanks for responding!! Does the 4GHz mean 4GHz per core or for the entire processor in total?

Why is the i5 8400 faster than the i5 7500 even though it has 2.8 GHz whereas the 7500 has base frequency of 3.4 GHz?

I'm looking to get the i5 8400 when the new motherboards come out. Would I need to get an aftermarket cooler or would the stock one with the Intel thermal paste be enough?

How do I check what my CPU/GPU temps are and what kinds of fps I'm getting?

Is there a noticeable difference in performance between WiFi and Ethernet for the average user?

Thanks everyone!! This helped clear things up!

Are M.2 drives that much faster than SSDs? I mean the ones with SATA connections

What's the difference between the B250, H110, H270 motherboards? I know they have a different number of ports and stuff, but is there a big difference in build quality? Thanks in advance

Trying to build my first PC Should I get the i5 8400 and the new budget motherboards that are supposed to come out soon or would it be worth the wait to get the next generation of CPUs Current build plan: gtx 1050ti (already bought) i5 8400 b360m motherboard corsair cx550m 16gb ddr4 2133Mhz (already bought) samsung 850 evo 500gb ssd (all the space i'll need) Thanks in advance
