Im making a gaming build for my friend. He will be playing games like fallout 4 and gta v in 4k at ultra settings. Is there anything I should change in the build. He wants to stick with a red and black color scheme btw. Let me know in the comments. Also, leave any other comments or opinions regarding the build.

The Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TRambo/saved/PP6WGX

Location : USA

Budget: $1600

 

Are you just going to post this same build every day and ask the same question?

I've got two concerns regarding your build: Why would you fill all four RAM slots? You can get 2x8GB for 67$ from G.Skill with higher frequencies. And you still have room for a theoretical upgrade, also, the motherboard you chose is overpriced, it's not worth any more than the ASRock I picked, my flatmate has the MSI one, he had to RMA it cause of RAM slot failure, got a replacement, and one SATA port died in less than a week after getting a new one ;-;

point out a gaming build that has 32gb of ram and out performs 16gb.

 

I picked the MSI to have all the features they need, and to brand match.

 

edit:

 

i dont see why you picked out a non-modular psu for your build.

It's still pointless to go 4x4GB instead of 2x8GB which actually is cheaper ^^

Yea. oh well. sounds like an easy change to the build.

 

Still don't see why you picked a non-modular PSU. Having a giant spool of extra wires laying around in a case...

Cause of the price, of course ^^ It's a quality, SeaSonic unit, and costs almost half of what you picked, they're probably around the same in performance and the huge price difference is only for the modularity :P
