Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) 8gb would be better than 6gb, but which cards are you going to buy? Edited September 21, 2016 by PCNoobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 21, 2016 Games today are using little over 4GB. Getting either one would be a good idea. If you're asking for 1060 vs 1070, get the 1070 if you can afford it.

Posted September 21, 2016 @Killtowin09 I like your build you picked out. It appears you want to overclock your CPU. If so, I recommend faster ram if you can afford it. With a 1070 in there you should ahve about 300 to 700 for a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I highly recommend you pick these three things out first. A super awesome rig needs a good monitor and inputs so you can enjoy it. We can cut somethings down if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all perform the same tbh, so just get whichever one you like best or buy it because of an extra feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 26, 2016 He's right, I prefer Corsair since I've done all my builds with them (since 2003) here is the DDR4 3000 LP Corsair Dominator RAM...$80. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/MYH48d/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2b3000c15 I don't see any LED's on your other ones...I'd forgo fancy aluminum looking RAM for $30.
