    help deciding components for a new

    I know the RAM was overkill x10 but with 2 screens and usually 40 things going on in the background, I figure I could always use more ram.

    help deciding components for a new

    thanks for the info! might up my budget a little actually so certain things might be within reach :) I searched around for a similar guide on DDR4 but couldn't find anything... am I thinking too much that there should be differences on the DDR4 brands?

    Help building a new pc

    sorry for the delayed post, i'm still traveling for work lately. Both of you guys listed the i5-750 instead of the AMD black edition.

    Thank you mfenn and DominionSeraph for the specs. Im getting horrible internet at the hotel room here so won't be able to pull up all the detailed specs till tomorrow. But I am thinking of going for the 8GB ram and possibly a SSD. Is a SSD going to have a significant performance increase?
