Specific Questions from a First-Timer

[drew6700]

Hi All!

First time builder here - https://pcpartpicker.com/user/drew6700/saved/zzpD8d

I have some specific questions about the build itself. (Sub 1000 USD pls)

1.) Will I need more RAM or higher speeds to play AAA games at 1080p?

2.) Is every mobo the same when posting, or does the B350M have its own quirks?

3.) How strong is the WiFi adapter that I've selected?

4.) Is there anything else I need to reach the aforementioned 1080p for AAA games?

 

Nice to see a consistently helpful community!

1.) 8GB will do you fine for now, but in future, I'd get another one of those sticks, and run them in dual channel.

2.) Nope, only differences are the splash screen that appears and the BIOS layout. Layout is detailed in the manual.

3.) More than good enough.

4.) Nope, that should be just fine. However, I would consider getting an SSD boot drive, as it'll improve load times, and overall snappiness of the OS, quite significantly.

 

Good luck!

I was on the fence about the SSD, and you hit the nail on the head with the rest of the answers. Thanks for the help!
