PC Spec's thread
nero:
Yeah, I'm thinking of cutting the cooler and maybe upgrade this later (if neccessary). Really want to have "matching" core components (cpu, gpu, ram), so nothing of it creates a bottle neck for performance.
The PC can get louder when gaming, you can't really prevent that anyway. But my comparison is said "turbine" from the old days, so maybe I'm probably just a little too worried about it.
Also, I'll just go with the SSD first, cause I got a 3 TB HDD in an external case already in use, I would transfer it into the PC later.
In regards to the RAM, is there really so much difference with dual channel? I did some research and basically every source I found was like "Meh, not significant, you wont notice".
Edit:
Wohoo! Below 1k!
[AK47]Tommy_Vicious:
nero , you better have 2x4 GB Ram then 1x8gb .
With only one stick you'll lose the benefit of dual channel.
Edit : and if it fails for some reason you can't use the pc ..
[MAF]Karlis:
the dual channel will give you ~5% performance increase in some applications, which is pretty good considering it doesn't cost anything to get 2x4 instead of 1x8.
nero:
Hey guys, thanks for all the input, has helped me really a lot. This is the final components list, everything is ordered and I managed to get it just below 1k :L
Gonna post pictures when build is ready 8)
