Syndicate Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Ok I spent $100 on my PC and I still get 60 fps on MC, 400 on coduo, 160 on new cods, and around 90 on Killing Floor. Whatever floats your boat man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jks101 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Syndicate does make a point. A computer even half that amount is feasible to run games over 60 fps. Just a few tips: I know that I'm not you, but personally I'd just stick with 1 TB and the SSD Buying (4x4GB) slots of ram is proven to process faster/more efficiently Liquid cooling to overclock CPU NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (You get a free game when you buy a GTX GPU. I believe it's Assassin's Creed 4) Happy building! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillieJoe67 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Buying (4x4GB) slots of ram is proven to process faster/more efficiently I would actually suggest you go with the 2x 8gb as you have room for expansion, the difference will be barely noticeable in normal usage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Depending on what you're doing you will most likely not use 16GB of ram, consider buying a 8GBx1 instead of two and upgrade when you feel you need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I do a lot of testing with VMs in VMware workstation, so the extra ram does help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CerealKlr Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Looks like a great gamer to me, and will probably be good in future generation gaming. I would max out your RAM with 32 Gbs if you do a lot of VM's. You can always use the extra as a RAM drive for gaming, when not in use. (at least I do.)
