If your are playing at 1080p that will be fiine, you prob don't need that much ram
>>51997063
Thanks dude. Would 12 be a good amount?
>>51996970
Oh and get a small ssd for a boot drive and some games.
>>51997095
2x4gb (8gbs) of ram is fine
If you ever find yourself needing more in the future it not an issue to add more
>>51997102
Massdrop has a 480 hyperx savage for 160.... Has a 600mb write speed. Is that a good size & prove for an ssd?
>>51997120
Thanks again.
>>51996970
i would take a R9 390 instead of the 970
>>51997122
I depends what you want to do, 480gb is a lot if you’re just going to use it as a boot drive, you can find a cheaper one that has around 120gb’s but if you want to stick a load of games on it then it’s a good choice.
Modern SSDs will all have read and writes speeds of around 500mbs, so there is not noticeable difference between them. The sata ports that they plug into limits their bandwidth in this sense so look for warranties and read reviews on reliability .

I'm gonna put bf4 and gta5 there
Shameless self bump
>>51997342
what more do you need to know?
guise i need an ok cooler for my i5 4670 (non k) cause stock one gives me 65 degree burns :< anything good below 150mm cause my case is a cheap gladius m40?
Another shameless selfbump
>>51997102
This
Don't build without ssd.
>>51996970
no ssd? if you consider it, buy the
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB.
>>51998550
also you dont need a 750W since your build only spends 351W, unless it's an investment for a later upgrade...
>>51996970
the ram is fine i would try and find one with a higher transfer rate but everything is good id drop to a 500 watt psu though
I have same cpu and card, and it works great for me at 1080p. Just drop the extra ram, you don't need it
>>51998550
Sorry for the late reply, my old computer haas been havind problems and freezing like crazy. Thank you for the ssd suggestion. I'll put it in to consideration
>>51999074
Okay. I'll do that.
With everyone's incredible help ,I've been able to lower the price even more. Should I upgradfe the graphics card?
