GF Gaming Rig

[CarrotLuke]

Hey I'm build a new Rig for my GF and want some opinions from you guys.

 

At the Moment it looks like this:

This like is just for people from Europe

She still has an GTX 760 from her current Rig and a nice 550 W PSU.

So there is no need to buy that new as well.

 

Thanks guys!

Budget? Do you have any DDR3 RAM sticks from her previous build left? Hard drives?
Also, where are you from exactly?

LOL you can't use ddr3 on a skylake mobo

[theereal]

Yes, 120GB is not nearly enough storage. Also Skylake isnt worth it. Also you cant use DDR3 memory on a Skylake motherboard.

LOL you can't use ddr3 on a skylake mobo

yes, skylake is compatible with DDR3, just can't use the same mobo

[Juanse]

Does she already have a HDD from her previous build? if not, I'd get one, 120gb is not enough for gaming, moreover when some games are 60gb

You can use DDR3 on certain motherboards.

Err, what is the rest of her current build?

If shes got any kind of i5 (sandy and up) or better youd be better of getting a better gpu and a 256gb ssd.

First of all, of course you can, you just don't know that. ASUS has provided such motherboards already for example. And I'm talking about regular DDR3 not this weird DDR3L.

Secondly, I asked for it cause Skylake might not be necessarily worth it. An i5-4690k or a Xeon E3-1231v3 would be just as good and the RAM sticks could be transferred.

yes you can. skylake supports dd3 and ddr4. just depends on  mobo

I was talking to @CarrotLuke Dont just assume im talking to you when im not Also i thought only DDR4 memory was compatible with Skylake CPU's, apperantly i was wrong.

Yeah I know, I just quoted you so you'd know that now, the direct message was to the dude that said quote: "LOL you can't use ddr3 on a skylake mobo" ^^ It's good to learn new stuff  so...

[CarrotLuke]

There is no real Budget, and no her current Rig still has DDR2 memory.

I'm have a 1230v3 in my Rig but i think if you build a new one now why don't get the new stuff?

 

She is running a Athlon II x4 945 atm, so everything is a big upgrade!

 

I have 3 HDD's (1 TB each or so) on hand so there is no problem on storage.

 

And im from Austria. And jeah we ride Kanguru's all day long

Yes, they have made ddr3 compatible mobos, but if he wants DDR4, he will have to get a new mobo AND ddr4, he might as well if hes buying a new mobo, and he can sell the ram on amazon, ebay, or craigslist.
