The Computer Megathread

[BubbaGum]

I'm playing on getting a 16 GB memory instead of the suggested 8GB. Its double the memory but for cheaper than double the price of the 8GB. Also I heard that the electronic store i shop at does price matching for online prices. The power supply is 620w and is $25 cheaper than the 650w one that was also suggested, so it's a much better deal. The motherboard is also $15 cheaper as well. Yay savings c:

Don't get 16gb, get 1600mhz 8gb ram

It's faster

why

You don't need 16 gigs
8 gigs is a luxury and anything else is pretty superfluous, especially for a cheaper-end rig like yours

The most you'll need for gaming in this day and age is 8GB, any more is for business applications like rendering.

Mine is a 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Dual Memory how is your better

[Tokthree]

Just trust us Bubba, you will not need 16GB of RAM for anything, save cash and get 6 or 8GB, no more

[BubbaGum]

I trust you<3
With the extra money should I look for a better CPU or power supply or motherboard or just save the money

[Tokthree]

I'd save it if you're going for the parts Jerome listed, should be good enough but you could always put it towards a stronger PSU, I dunno.
By the way, are we sure that all the parts will fit in her case?

I'm fairly certain they will, I managed to get a loving huge GPU in it. And I am going to use the parts he listed. Since I'm not educated in computer stuff at all, could anyone explain the advantages of each part, basically meaning what does a great CPU do for your computer compared to a good PSU. Or do they all contribute to just a generally good computer? Sorry If I sound dumb, Like I said I have no clue what I'm talking about.

The quality of that PSU is questionable. Is 80plus? Does it have the required power connectors?

For some reason I can't watch videos or listen to music in-browser. I'm running Chromium on Ubuntu 12.10. Any ideas?

What happens? Does Chromium just crash or do you get no sound?
