sillyapple Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Okey so here is my almost completed build list, any comments or help much appreciated, im paticulary interested in what memory to buy ? Its not really for gaming just hard core application use and photoshop etc which is why ill use onboard Graphics to start before possibly upgrading... Corsair 540 ATX Cube Case Intel Core i7 4790K 4GHz Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO Z97 Coolermaster GM-Series 750W Semi Modular 80+ Bronze Power Supply Corsair Hydro Series H110 Liquid CPU Cooler HyperX 3K 240GB 2.5inch SATA-III SSD I dont want to spend out to much on ram but want for example to have 2x4gb with the option to add another 2x4gb's so start with 8 with the option to have 16gb So if i wanted to get 4 sticks of corsair 4GB whats the best option to go for with this setup ie speed etc etc ? Is there anything i have missed out component wise ? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Its not really for gaming just hard core application use and photoshop etc which is why ill use onboard Graphics to start Well that's no fun... 1. I always go for a large ram option right up front, 2x4 is better then 4x2. But 4x4 is optimal. 2. Not sure exactly, but performance wise, you won't see much of a difference with any speed of ram, just get something in your budget. 3. GPU would be a good idea from the start, fans for your case, maybe a storage drive(s), monitor(s) if you don't already have them. keyboard/mouse if you don't already have them Edited July 22, 2014 by Black64 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 If you are doing photoshop you should push the memory up and get a good low latency 2x8GB kit or better yet a 4x8GB 1866MHz kit so you can use the RamDIsk available on the M7H. Unfortunately thats a roughly $300 option With a 2x8GB 1866MHz kit you are still in the $150-$170 range http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233536 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231627 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226382 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
