[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[Nal]

Ok. I suppose sometimes I do wish I had more chunks loaded at once in minecraft. But like I said, just everyday computing couldn't get much faster, I think. I've had like 15+ tabs open at once in chrome and it wasn't even beginning to slow down. Unfortunately, it seems the price of RAM seems to have gone up since when I bought mine. :/ What I might do is just get 2 more gigs instead of 4. What would you think about that?

wtf are you talking about
I have like 50x more tabs open then you do and I'm just bearly hitting 4gb used

Oh. That's a lot of tabs.

[Nal]

Oh.

I would look at getting 8gb though. Its worth it

That's a lot of tabs.

and in use

Ok, so a while back I asked if you guys could come up with any good reasons for me to upgrade from 4GBs of RAM to 8, even though all the games I play run just fine at like max settings, save Blockland, which I sometimes have to turn down from max settings. Everyday computing couldn't be much faster either, quite frankly. I never got an answer to this question, so I'm assuming nobody had any reasons why this might be good?

Also, I'm planning on ordering the value pack of cooler master blue led fans (they're near the top when you search newegg for blue led fan). So, I was wondering how would you switch a fan from exhaust to intake, and should I even put an intake fan on the front of my tower? I think it might have a dust filter, or if it doesn't, it's defiantly the best area at keeping dust out, I think.

Yeah, when not playing games I typically hover around 3.5gb. (Steam, Skype, tons of chrome tabs and extensions) But I like to use these while playing, so that is where 8GB comes in handy.

Also, how important is it that my ram be the same kind that I already have?

Very. Same brand, speeds and voltage, otherwise you will risk damaging all of them.

Microsoft Encoder 4 - Pretty great, large raw files but once it encodes the video files they become incredibly small with good quality.
Bandicam if you have nVidia because they have an encoder that uses CUDA cores. It's pretty great.
Dxtory if you have a fast hard drive.
Another one is Action! by Mirillis. That one's also very good. Good quality + it encodes files also and they become small.

Filipe1020 suggested with too, this is the one i'm getting.

this.  In other words, each ram stick must be identical in every way.
