Is this good? Just say if it is good or no, not make a improved part list, only do it if it is really messed up.

 

Games i want to play:

 

• Cities Skylines

• Universe Sandbox  ²

• Possibly other games

 

What will i do:

 

• Browse the internet

• Play (sometimes heavy) games, preferably on Steam.

Its good, I just don't get why you are going that with the RAM as the board is duel channel?

[stealth80]

it isn't bad, however you need to swap that HDD to a 7200rpm version and that PSU is very weak (good brand just low wattage). What is your max budget?

[Amazingasian]

It's good but I could do better.  I would advise against Tri channel RAM because it's more expensive, I don't think you need a DVD drive, and you're overpaying for the HDD.

I didn't even spot the ram lol, ye OP go with 2x4 or 2x8gb

[poownedmage]

why dont go with 8gb or 16gb of ram, and if youre buget allowe it then you should go with the r9 380

 

[NunoLava1998]

@mcraftax I wanted the cheapest RAM possible that is not 8 GB and this is what i got. @stealth80 I don't care the HDD, and the PSU is already 80W over what it needs, it's 283 W. Also the RAM is 3x4 GB, which is 12 GB. Better than 2x4, and worse than 2x8. @Amazingasian It's the cheapest RAM i could get. I want a DVD drive beacuse i don't want to install Windows on a USB and i have a disk and no USB (with Windows, atleast.) @poownedmage I also wanted 16 GB, but i got 12 GB beacuse that's the cheapest i got. Also 8 GB is worse than 12 GB -.-.

IDK your situation but as you are going for a board with duel channel, could you save but for a short time to get the best out of the that by going for 2x8 but this may not be possible as you may need it now, just an idea.

I don't need a SSD and i would get a shitty 40 GB with 30€. Also no issues plz.  And Amazon only.

@poownedmage Atleast when you see one of the RAM sticks is bad you still have 8 GB which is enough.

Even worse. 175 mm and 305mm is the same saying that a piece of dust cannot fit into a big case.

You're not gonna get bad ram.  @TheRandomness made a really good build.  Those issues  won't have any affect on the build.

I wanted around 800€ (sorry i didn't mention) maximum. And god damnit why do you never make a build without issues (even minor issues, like BIOS updates for it to work, i don't want that.

[cynexit]

Just to put this out here: three RAM modules on a dual channel board does not affect performance. Two modules will run in dual channel and one will run in single channel without degrading performance, that was a DDR2 problem and did not carry over to DDR3 thanks to Intel's Flex Mode.

It is generally not recommended tough, but Intel's Flex Mode is pretty good by now and I perosnaly never had any issues. That said, the cheaper the mainboard the worse the situation will get. Here is a (very) short explanation.

Because you won't need a BIOS update and you just have to remove a drive cage.

I don't think you have researched, if you have that's OK, but there's one problem yet: i lose my motherboard (very important)'s warranty right when i want it to work, and i don't think warranty won't do that for me.
