Ok, got a taichi ordered, once I know its shipped im buying the rest of the build. This is a bit last minute I know but I'm looking for some help.
Im thinking of getting this ram
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C14D-32GTZ
32gb is a requirement for me, as I'm currently using 93% of 16gb and I cant open any game that is demanding because of stuttering that will occur when it hits the ram limit, shadows warrior 2 was unplayable for me unless I was freshly booted, and going to 32gb of ram seems to be the happy medium between stupidly high ram prices and general ram incompatibility at the moment.
I may keep this ram and be done with it, I may take it out and put in better in 9 or so months, not sure, but even at 2133mhz id likely be happy with performance jump to it.
Anyone know of better ram or cheaper ram that is 3200 or there around?
On to ssds, im sticking to windows 7, so installing on an nvme is something that would be a pain to do, but i'm not opposed to learning how. I was looking at a 600p earlier, till I saw benches that showed a Crucial MX300 out preforming it in many metrics, that with nvme appears to be bottlenecked elsewhere then speed in nearly all applications, im thinking of holding off on nvme till after craps sorted and also prices come down/possibly till they can be 2tb instead of one.
So where i'm stuck in my thinking is this. unless nvme comes down in price or a ssd comes out that has stupid amounts of storage for very little cost, ill likely stick with the ssd I get long haul, now my concern with size is games are currently starting to eat 100gb or there around, I have a 4tb drive for games, most games won't be on the ssd, just the few that I am either actively playing, go back to time and time again, or ones that really benefit from the load times. I currently have a 120gb intel drive that is likely slower then hdds at this point is sustain read if my boot is anything to gauge that by, its nearly full, but im also not sure I could really install much more on it if I tried, so i'm looking at 256 gb as a minimum, 512 as a low point and 1tb or there around as what I want. However, a ssd that saturates sata more often then not is something I would like, so i'm at a bit of a loss as to what to get. Also with nvme, I really only know samsung or intel for the price, I cant really fine any other drives that are nvme and not just sata on m.2 and when I do like the intel drive, it performs worse then the sata drive for some reason.
any thoughts to talk me through this? Id rather spend less money if possible but not apposed to a bit more if it gets me far more performance.
as for hdds, there is nothing to mention, Getting an 8tb and because my current two 4tb 5200 drives have served me well, and the purpose of the 8tb drive, there isn't much to talk about.
