'sup /v/

Next week I'm going to modify my old-ass rig (first gen i3, Radeon 5750, 4gb ram 1333hz), and I'm on a budget, but I'm probably gonna go for these parts:

GPU: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127860

MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2W03ZR0115

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153174

SSD: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147360

What DDR4 RAM should I go for? Any other thoughts/recommendations?

Forgot to add the i5 6600k
>>
>>339218646
>i5 6600k
you don't need it, get a 4690k. DDR4 ram is also a waste of money

>960
a 380x will cost you like $30 more and btfo the 960

What the fuck. Polaris is getting announced in like 2 days, wait you fucking sperg. Why would you buy a new GPU when budget cards are being announced within the next few days?

>barley knows shit about them

Quit being a fag

What the fuck are you talking about? I said budget cards.
>>
>>339219671
Fair enough, will stick to DDR3. Not getting a 4690K because the MOBO has a 1151 socket, so I guess I'll just go for the 6600 (minus K).

>>339219671
why would he buy the 4690 over the 6600?
>>
>>339222680

Damn it. Thanks for the heads up, anon.
>>
>>339223036
because the 4690 chips blow skylake the fuck out?
>>
>>339223548

How, exactly?

What >>339223615 said.

>>339223615

better single-core and multithreaded performance.

for the love of god don't get a 960, Maxwell is relatively bad at async compute and its poor performance in DX12 is only going to hurt it moving forward

dial down on everything else if you need to but you need to spend more on your GPU, maybe look into buying used because you could easily get a 4690k, a decent mobo, and DDR3 RAM for under 300 bucks if you just look around. just make sure you set aside ~300-350 dollars for the GPU alone.

the SSD and PSU should definitely be purchased new though. your SSD is expensive but Samsung drives have exceptionally low failure rates and the extra reliability is worth the premium imo. you really don't need a 750W PSU and that specific Thermaltake unit is pretty bad. this one is better, cheaper, and should be more than enough for your needs. just look up a PSU tier list otherwise and consult it before you make your final decision.

I strongly advise you wait a couple more weeks for the new cards to drop, the R9 480 and GTX 1070 are perfect if you're looking to build a budget rig right about now and I can't really recommend anything else atm
>>
Pretty sure you'll be able to find 970 - 980ti for under 200 soon.

Just wait
