processor Need Parts Help for PC for Gaming

[BLLDoesTech]

So I have a Asus prime mobo that only supports 8th generation processors and all other PC parts.

I need RAM and CPU for it.

Max $500 and I was thinking over 3.5 GHz

RAM I want RGB, 8 GB or 16 GB? (which do I need for Overwatch, Warface, & CS-GO)

Also anyone know a good cheap SSD?

ADATA SU800 has been really good value SSD lineup. 128 GB, 256GB, 512, etc. 

for CPU/Memory combo, what GPU are you using and what games do you plan on playing? More then likely, an i5-8600k and an aftermarker cooler wouldn't be a bad idea, but you could also probably get an i7 8700 and 16GB of ram for just over $500, though you really wouldn't need it for just those games. 

i5, good cooler and 16GB: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3GqVsJ

i7, cheap cooler and 16GB: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pVGJjc

I agree with Brink. If those are the games you have in mind an i5 should do wonders.

This list is exactly the same as he posted, only changed the rams to rgb ones https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

Honestly, if you are not planning on overclocking, a 3200Hz is pointless but since the 2600Hz cost only $2 less... screw it

 

As for SSD i'm running a Crucial MX500 250gb. Can't complain

 

All the best and good luck with your build!!

The Asus prime supports this, is it better than a normal ssd?

Processor is good, not sure about the RAM I want to get RGB

That SSD still runs on a SATA controller. It's going to perform within margin of error. (1-2% max difference) 

If you want RGB RAM, then you'll have to go with 8GB on the i7, or drop down to the i5 with 16GB. 

The Gskill TridentZ RGB and Corsiar Vengeance Pro RGB kits are what I recommend for DDR4 kits. And Ram speed doesn't make that big of a difference in gaming, so just go with what fits your budget best.

I think this is what I will go with, I just put the mobo on there for my own sanity.

TridentZ RGB 2x8

i5 8700k 3.6GHz

ADATA SU800 On-Board SSD

$506

$6 over budget 

Thanks guys!

 

PS: probably going to stick with the stock cooler for the time being, maybe upgrade in the future to a Noctua NH-D15

the unlocked 8xxxK series of CPUs do NOT come with a stock cooler. They assume that if you're buying an unlocked cpu, then you're probably overclocking and will buy an aftermarket CPU cooler. So at the very least you will need to add something like a hyper 212... 

It sucks but that's how it works right now. 

Also, I'm guessing that it was a typo, but it's an i5-8600k. 8700k is the i7.

that was the Ram the Trident z rgb 2x8

The Corsair ones use propietary software iCUE. The Tridentz ALLEDGEDLY works with Aura Sync,

Since you have an ASUS board i'd go with the TRIDENTZ (only for environment compatibility. In my rig i have all Corsair products for that reason and because they look AWESOME!!!)

I built an open desk pc (parts attached to the desk so I got some RGB fans and lights) so the RAM should be a cool addition to that, glad to know its aurora sync cause thats what everything else runs off of

don't bother with the 8600k and 3000mhz ram since you only have a H310 board, get an 8700 or 8400 instead.

remember he wants the RGB rams, though you could switch the vulcans for the tridentz and the budget doesn't change that much

I like the ram but I am still getting the on-board ADATA SU800, I don't have a place to put the SSD
