 Could you link a PCPartPicker page please?

Could you make a PCPartPicker link to make it easier to read please?

[RedSphyxis]

@Nohemi you should use pcpartpicker next time. and follow your posts.

 

I would recommend a 24" monitor and replace the AsRock board(I've had bad experienes, MSI and Asus are a far better choice IMO) but that's pretty good already

Eh... when did you last use asrock? they have changed hands and haven't had issues sense.

 

 

Kinda hard to read, but what I can read. get 1600mhz instead of 1866 RAM. Won't see a performance difference at all in gaming, and almost all tasks except for HEAVY video editing(and I mean HEAVY like hollywood, mega movie heavy) or if you are using a APU

 

Or, if you don't mind the extra heat. go AMD. will lower the price, and give HUGELY better price to performance.

This^ and stop reposting please

Why are you reposting? It's hard to get adequate feedback if you have 4 different threads of the same post going at once.

That's a pretty nice setup, pretty close to the specs that I'm running minus a video card. For just gaming at 1080p you'll be set for a while. You're looking at 80fps+ in bf4 or 50-60fps in crysis 3 with those specs. The only thing I would add is maybe a gsync or at least 144hz refresh monitor if you have the extra cash. Its worth it for gaming in my opinion.

I have 1866 RAM for gaming D: Only because I found it for a good price though.

[Nohemi]

thank you for all the replies and i am kind of a noob at all this and what is a PCpartpicker

[Nohemi]

so if 1600 is good what would you recommend

anything cheap, and meets your specifications. this stuff is on sale http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31600c9d8gao

the thing with memory is almost all brands use the same chips, and flash. So its hard to get bad RAM.

So look for memory that meets your specifications, is on sale, and has  a good warranty. no company will give you a 5year warranty if they know the product will only last 3.

so if 1600 is good what would you recommend

Really if all you're doing is gaming just grab a cheap kit from a trusted company like corsair, gskill, or hyperx you wont see any difference.

[Nohemi]

[TheIcedCanadian]

For $100 MORE u could have this:

GTX980 - but is $100 over budget.

 

For ~$100 less, you could have this which would perform the same as the computer you listed but just be cheaper
