the vengeance pro ram is over priced i would not go for that i would go for something a bit more reasonable price like the Kingston blu red series ram since i take it that you want a red theme ram but every thing else looks great

No need to replace the CPU cooler fans the stock ones are already really good trust me.

 

The RAM is over priced IMO...

 

Get the M550 SSD and not the M500, it's slower than the M550 which just came out.

Are they better than the Beast ram? (Donno much about Ram :/)

that is why i was recommending the ram i did because there is really no difference so that is why i do not recommend corsair ram at this time because they are over priced like kingston ram 16gb=129.99 USD and Corsair Vengeance= 159.99 USD so that is why i go with kingston and the kingston beast would not change the performance unless it is a higher Mhz like 1866 or 2133 etc.

mhz isn't the only thing that determines performance. CAS latency plays a big role too

yeah but im just saying i think it is unnecessary to pay the so called "premium" price of corsair ram right now

I can agree with you that performance is better than aesthetics most of the time but performance isn't always everything. A lot of people, like me, would much rather pay $10-$30 more for an individual part for it to look appealing rather than buy something that looks horrendous despite the equal performance.

 

It really goes on a person-to-person basis whether or not you should spend more money on RAM. You can't always make a generalization.

you do have a good point there it does mainly matter on personal preference

Are you planning to sli?

Also, no point getting such an expensive cpu cooler when what you're doing is gaming.

Are they better than the Beast ram? (Donno much about Ram :/)

Brand of ram doesn't really matter.

Mainly looks.

Basically, the premium is never worth paying for unless you don't mind doing so for looks. Any other reasoning is generally bull.

Please don't make multiple threads for the same build. I'm merging the threads.

Keep it to one thread per build.
