Faggots who never used speccy. That's dual channel RAM at DDR3 speeds, take 679MHz and multiply by 2.
The timings are still shit for overclocked 1333MHz.
What the fuck is the point of having 24GB of RAM anyways if you're just gonna use it for games? 16GB is more than enough. Hell, people still get by with 8GB.

Obviously not only for videogames. Raw image files from photography and video files pile up like nobody's business. Also, storage of a fuckload of mecha anime, manga, books, movies, and shows.

When your last real desktop was a P3 running XP, and before that it was a P2 Compaq with Win95, you learn to appreciate something with a little more leg room to do what you want.

All these i7 retards paying the extra $120 for ABSOLUTELY 0 FPS GAIN. Do your homework you fucking morons. More $$$ doesn't always = better performance. Hyperthreading is still a meme when it comes to games.
>>336217559
Only meme you fell for was Win 10 but I'm guessing it was a new build and you didn't want to get gouged for a Win7 key. I have the VG248 as well, turn your refresh rate to 144hz you dummy.
>>336217559
Eh, I used to see 6600k as a useless shit but goes for the same price as 4690k, at least in my home country. Well done, you've got a solid build.

>How do you like using your computer like its a overgrown tablet
I don't. I loathe the whole thing. Decided to take 8.1 anyway in case MS pulls shit like newer games not running on W7 or older anymore. You know, on the off-chance something worthwhile is released.
I still have my W7 around, but it's currently on my back-up machine.
>>336218151
Well atleast you aren't as retarded going for the i7 (unless you are doing artfaggot shit like rendering stuff and memecoin farming). Wanna switch that OS though.

If you're editing videos or working on matlab or someshit then fair enough, but what does an average adult need HT for?
>>336219089
>I use the hyperthreading all the time!
>I do hours and hours of video encoding!
CPU intensive video encoding is literally the only instance where the i7 outperforms the i5 substantially (20-30% faster). I'm sure intel loves retards like you who think their i7 is 'faster' than the poorfags who had to 'settle' for i5. Now go google hyperthreading and read for yourself what a fucking moron you are.
>>336217843
I have the exact same set up as my friend, but he has an i5, I have an i7. I get 60fps, rarely drops. He gets 55-60. Not to mention I use mine for editing, too. An i7 was definitely worth it for me, just because you can't justify the purchase doesn't mean others can't.
>>336219417
That's in Dark Souls 3, by the way.
>>336212291
are you serious?
you can't get lower than 9 for many years now, not that it matters at all for games on PC you get so much caching you can safely use CL30 RAM if it existed

>blaming frame drops on the CPU in Dark Souls
I'm gonna go ahead and call bullshit on that. The editing thing is...great? How long are you encoding videos? Sounds like you paid more than your friend and now are trying to rationalize the $120 premium.
>>336219717
>new games def need the HT for max FPS :^)
>>336219416
is this 2011 again? don't you update your software?
>>336219867
i have i72600 and yes now it paid off to have i7 instead of i5
>>336219753
>Acctually not yet
Still kicking ass @ 720p
>>336219983
The i5 2500k is still going strong and only now is starting to really bottleneck the newest GPUs. So your point is that it takes 5+ years for the i7 to really payoff? You might be retarded.
>>336220549
if you're comfortable at 720, I doubt you're ever going to really need to upgrade until your hardware is plain unsupported by the new games

Good to know. Bought that pc for 350€ like 3 years ago. Only upgrade is the 500 gb SSD (and a xbox360 controller). Mostly watch /tv/ and play vidya. Light pic and video editing and paying bills. I'm very happy with my build. Bang for buck ratio is high.
