>$4000 build, just a quick look plz!

why would you get 1600mhz only on ram for a 4k computer? And if you're overclocking, wouldn't a 2500k be better?

 

[xamoel]

Because various tests don't show any noticeable difference between 1600 ram and those with higher speeds. And why pay extra for something you don't need. It's not like I've got money to burn.
I don't know what would speak for the 2500k, except for the lower price tag?

I mean, the company is paying so why are you saying that you dont have money to burn?!

It's a small family owned business, and I am thankful for their generosity. I don't want to overdo it.

Not sure if srs?

Buddy, $4K on a DIY PC is already overdoing like crazy.

 

[xamoel]

Agreed, but I wanna spend it on something I actually notice when playing.

If you want to do 4k go ahead, it's your money. But I think the prevailing theme here is that it's wiser to spend 2k on two builds instead of one 4k build that could be obsolete in only 3 years.
