After 3 years since I bought new RAM on 1600MHz, I just read recently my i5 2300 only supports 1333MHz ram. So I want to upgrade to a new CPU, and the best cheapest offer without having to change my socket (LGA 1155) is i7 2600, which is actually a pretty dope deal and perhaps the best thing I could get for this socket which is still found. The 3770 is a liable alternative, but I can't find it anywhere. But the i7 2600 doesn't support 1600MHz either (The 3770 does support it). Screw dissu stufftu. |

Saving those few dollars and spending it on a better wireless card is something that will have noticeable gains in both connection stability and speed. A worthy trade-off in my opinion. Edit: Here's an alternate partslist with a solid PSU, 16GB of RAM but no aftermarket CPU cooler and a slightly cheaper wireless card. Realistically the cooler doesn't matter since it isn't a k-series processor so I think it comes more down to vanity or preference in that regard. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Tokthree/saved/TtynTW --- End quote --- Ah, thanks. I think I'll go with this - I want the better RAM for a reason - Feed the Beast is a bitch, plus I do a lot of video editing, modelling, graphic design, and such. I'd rather just never have to worry about it. |

--- Quote from: Georges on November 27, 2015, 07:10:46 PM --- hmm They recommend 16 --- End quote --- the recommended specs for a lot of games are for absolute optimal performance. Fallout 4 devs recommend an r9 290x 4gb and an FX-9590 4.7 GHz; I'm running maxed settings very well (even with hi-res texture mods enabled) with an r9 380 4gb and an FX‑8320 3.5 GHz. I have 8 gigs of ram and I've peaked at only 88% memory capacity while playing fo4 but hey, if you have the cash and don't mind spending it, go for it, at the least you'll be more future-proof with 16gb |
