Young computer enthusiast

[Evilsprite5]

So I am a young new computer lover and my friends and I are building computers with the money that we earned over our lives. We are going to buy components to build 5 computers with a 3000$ budget (600$ per computer) my friends have watched Linus' videos to study so we know what to do. We have trouble figuring out the platform issue with compatible RAM CPU And motherboard. So I was wondering if I could get suggestions for a ram cpu motherboard package that are on the same platform , and still have enough money for a graphics card, case, and power supply.

that math is invalid

600+600+600 = 1800

Firstly which currency? (I'm going to assume USD for now though)

they rarely come in a "package"

 

but RAM will almost certainly be 8GB of DDR3, get whatever frequency (MHz) is avaliable (1600 or 1866 most likely)

EDIT: This is based on the assumption you're using them for gaming. 

 

EDIT 2: Also, you may be better off going with a single 8GB stick with that board, so you have the option to move to 16GB if needed.

Follow your own topics, kiddo.

Remember: you may also need keyboards, mice, monitors and an operating system.

You might need to get these if you want to play right away or you can build the system and get the rest over time.
