G.Skill Ripjaws V16 (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 *added 2x8GB more* Installed the RAM before work, left the PC on for the rest of the day, until I came home later that nig...

Ouch. Isn't Free Sync for AMD users? Do you have any suggestions monitor wise? Should I go for the standard monitor, with hmdi ports to play consoles and such?

AnotherCasualty

Display!

With my Nvidia card, would gsync be worth it? I'm buying a Nintendo Switch, and when I'm not gaming on the PC, I'd love to hook up the consoles and play, since the TV is taken over by the wife and she uses the PS4 on it. Suggestions? Thanks!

2x4 + 2x8 = 24 GiB of memory should be more than enough.

She's running 16 GB of ram atm. Caught the memory on sale a few months ago and added 2 more sticks.

Maybe a bigger SSD? I would just get another 8 GB of memory instead of 16 as well as a SSD and a new GPU later. I'm running a 6 GB Nvidia 1060 currently. The system is a few years old already. I'd love to build a new system and give this one to my wife who is a Graphic Designer. No dice lol. Ah wel...

Actually they aren't. I'm VERY pleased with the quality of my gaming. I'm pushing high to ultra on a lot of games hitting 60/65 FPS if not higher on some things. I'm not over clocking or pushing my system. I see a game I want to play and well, it plays it. Very well in fact. I say this with default ...

Hey Just. Where have you been all my life?

I might have gotten the sweet end of a deal. Talked to a friend of mine earlier, he's got an extra GeForce GTX 760 2GB laying around, that he says he'll let me test it out and he'll let me have it for 50 bucks if I want it. I think I might test it out against what I have and see how it fairs. Sorry...

I'll check on it. Just found EVGA 04G-P4-2768-KR GeForce GTX 760 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support SC 4GB w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card on Newegg pretty cheap too. I should get to bed, too many options and so much time but I find myself being some what impatient at times.

Remember the PSU lie- those 'recommendations' are based on the benchmark set by the crappiest units sold. A Seasonic is good for ~30% over it's rating in GPU-vendor wattage. As for the video card? Still wait. There's another Nvidia card coming, and custom-cooled AMD cards with them. Unless your car...

Whoooo! Lordy. Seeing these new cards from AMD /R9 290/290x it's got my mouth watering just a little bit. I'm getting mixed reviews. Some reviews are showing the 290 being a better investment than the 290x. I'm still rocking my EVGA GTX 560 Ti 448 core *fermi* graphics card. Looking at some, via Sap...

Enjoy the new machine, out of curiosity what does your friend who wanted to build you a Bulldozer based machine think of your selection? Ooooh I'm enjoying it so much!

Good luck on the build. To be a new guy with all the delicious new packaging, and everything about PC building so fresh and vibrant and new in your mind.

What type of system are you looking to build? I've been reading and researching like crazy.

Oh, I've got a friend that just wont stop raving about Star Wars the Old Republic. As someone who has the game and discontinued his sub, I urge you to caution.
