Ddr4 ram is only compatible with x99 motherboards. Could you give us an idea of your budget, intentions with the computer and location? Also which parts still work?

[dibakar]

Yes my location is in India and budget is us 500$ and in Indian currency 28000 ruppes and I already have Intel processors I5-4670k and xfx graphics card hd 6970

And plz help with the ram that I should go for

[GarnetDevil]

I'd keep the CPU and mobo and go for a GTX970

[SirBobson]

And plz help with the ram that I should go for

And plz help with the ram that I should go for

Go for pretty much any 1600mhz ram from a trusted manufacturer e.g. Kingston, corsair, etc.

[dibakar]

Can u tell me that gigabyte black editon z97x-ud5h is it good for gaming or should I opt for different motherboard

[dibakar]

And also tell me if I need to change my psu currently I am using crosshair gs-700 is it ok.

[kameshss]

Any Z97 motherboards are good. Because you can overclock an Unlocked CPU.

So the gigabyte mobo is good that you chose.!

Same with PSU. Its a good to go.

Get a RAM with atleast 1600MHz speed. May be Corsair or Kingston!

You cannot use a DDR4 RAM in a Z97 board!

[dibakar]

Ok thanks for the advice.

and last question can I5-4670k can be used on x99 mobo. I dont know about that .

[mrkvik79]

No you can not use an I5 in a x99 mobo
