Posted January 10, 2016 Hello, I've been following linustechtips for a while and this is my first forum post. I decided that this year I was gonna build my first PC and I was super excited. I've enjoyed researching learning so many new things, but I wanna make sure that I'm on the right track. Like so many, I want my PC to be gaming capable for high graphics performance. I watched a really great Intel Core i7-4930K Processor. Can someone tell me whether or not I'll be able to play games with that much ram and this processor together? Or am I going to need a mother board with little bit more ram capacity? Also I'll be starting off with the MSI R9 390X GAMING 8G Graphics Card for now and I'll be upgrading to what Linus used later. For budget reasons of course. Best Regards, Mike Super Excited To Build! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 10, 2016 Why do you even need 32 gigs I'll be to play games with high performance when I pair 32gigs of ram with the Intel Core i7-4930K Processor. ram does not effect preformance unless its a APU or the ram is bottlenecking gpu FPS <3 Flick G1 Review Nixeus Revel Review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good think to do first is to follow this topic You won't forget you posted something ^^ Concerning your build What do you plan to do, only gaming ? If yes you don't need 32gigs You need MAX 16gigs of ram for gaming ^^, and in most case 8 are more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 10, 2016 4930k is not LGA1150. A 4790k would work though.

Posted January 10, 2016 That MOBO is not compatible with that CPU. You don't need 32GB of RAM for gaming.

Posted January 10, 2016 You will need a x79 motherboard which it hard to find in some countries. Magical Pineapples
