I almos have enough for that and what I was planing seems too much for me for the moment...

[sacamoises]

the only complain that I have is that I wanted to get 2 more DDR3 8GB stics later but that cpu can only run ram in dual channel

[HKZeroFive]

you know what guys... I think I will stick with what flexluthor told me... what do you say?

 

Save money. Just grab this. 8GB of RAM is more than enough for gaming. I'd save up for a new GPU in the future:

Dual channel doesn't mean you can only run two DIMM' s of RAM. Four sticks will be fine, but you don't need more than 12GB for gaming.

do you think that flexluthor was thinking that I was going to oveclock? cuz I dont have an idea of how to do that...

Thanks a lot but I think that I will get the 4970K cuz I really want those 8 threats, what do you think?

[sacamoises]

nice but... how much will I reduce the lifespan of my components by OC? and... my gtx 970 says OC. those that mean that it is already OC or that it can be OC?

Yep.

1. OC' ing doesn't reduce lifespan by much.

2. There is already a factory OC.

factory? so it is overclocked... can I stop the oc if I want to see how much is the difference between it being oc and not being oc?

You can reduce it using MSI AfterBurner.

[sacamoises]

oh yeah, that app. I kind of know about it, it is to manage the gpu, nice.
