Good PC Builds

Yeah, but I never build my PCs for just "one" game where it runs fine, but with the intention that most games should run awesome. So 8 is MY personal recommendation. Considering the low price on Ram, there is no reason to save money here, in my opinion. You can do that with cards, and gpus, but you should definetly invest in decent HDs, CPU cooler - if you're looking for overclocking, and supply units. The performance boost by better HDs can be quite large and you don't want the supply unit to be your bottle neck in the future. I am even thinking about to get 16g or ram, not due to gaming though, but for working with images and eventually making art on my new PC. I can't stand photoshop slowing down ...

I went with 2x8 of RAM so I have 16 GB, might go with 32 GB in the future. There are some games that take more than 8GB.

huh, care to give an example? the one that not suck btw

so far its just ashes of singularity, but that thing is just Optional if you want that firefight gloriness

I go by recommended settings but games like

GTA V:
Recommended:
  • OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1
  • Processor: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHz (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHz (8 CPUs)
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD 7870 2GB
  • Storage: 65 GB available space
  • Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible
Rise Of The Tomb Raider:

  • Recommended:
    • OS: Windows 10 64 bit
    • Processor: Intel Core i7-3770K
    • Memory: 8 GB RAM
    • Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 980Ti 2560x1440 or NVIDIA GTX 970 1920x1080
    • DirectX: Version 11
    • Storage: 25 GB available space
Just to name a couple. The requirements are only going to keep raising and if it's an unoptimized game you're gonna need the RAM.

the comparison of the guys above is very good to make people not to force each other 8gb, especially if they doing budget build. maybe its just for anyone who want to play good old games, or some indie game. Reflex anyone?

Also, a good damn reference for power build/ anyone who have extra cash but cant decide if they want to put it to extra budget for gpu, another ssd, or RAM

i'm sorry, but i ask for the one that need 16 gb ram. like ashes of singularity or even quantum break.

and no, unoptimized shit like arkham knight at launch doesnt count please. you better save your money then force the dev to fix their games, and it works wonderfully right now.
its clear that 16 gb ram is might very much not needed until 3 years from now, when 8k resolution and VR gaming start to boominng.

Whoops, going back and forth between here and the Codex. Wasn't thinking, eh maybe you're right but I like to be able to alt tab to an internet browser and still reply to posts on NMA while playing a game for example in addition to opening a lot of tabs. I just like to be prepared. I know many will disagree with me but I just like sporting a high end rig.
 
More than 8GB of RAM isn't exactly useful for gaming right now, but you can do other things with your computer as well :D
Anyone who has ever done rendering or graphic design or numerical simulations knows that 8GB is the minimum you can have ^^

dope...:P

i have a goal to emulate all last-gen potato masher game now with my 32 gb ram machine!

here's a list of a couple number of each overclocked rx 480 and default one (1200 MHz)

uhznP4k.jpg


remember this is still just rough number and speculative one, the base clock 1200Mhz and the respective overclocked one is confirmed though
 
It's incredible how the 1070 is around 10-15% worse compared to the 1080, but the 1080 costs like 40% more.
Well done Nvidia! Well done, you damn shitheads! :smug:. No surprise the Linux guy hates them.

Yeah well, those are american prices, i'm not even going to mention how much both of those cards currently cost where i live (the ones at amazon.de are a bit cheaper, but still 760~ euros for the 1080, which will be obsolete as the "king" in the fall of this year, when vega and pascal launches). What is sad about this, is that amd offerings will also be priced idiotically in Europe. Even if you include vat, if the rumors are true, the retailers will still price gauge those cards for a premium of 30-40 euros. That's still probably better value than nvidias offerings, but the current trend of prices rising (at least so it seems if you look at the previous generation prices) in electronics is getting a bit worrysome.
 
Heh, yeah I can absolutely agree with that. However, I think you can get the 1080 for 680 here. The cheapest price I found so far. Still almost 250 euro more than the cheapest price for the 1070.
 
if you couldn't get the rx 480, consider wait for 470 instead. it got almost same power as gtx 970.

Yeah, but those are still rumors. Let's wait for the real benchmarks, which will come out in about a week and a half~. Though i'm thinking about getting the 470 (maybe even a 460 if it's at least 50-60% better than my r7 360) also, even though my budget allows the 480. Since i'm on linux and i usually get my games at summer/winter sale, i'm not really playing any new AAA games anyway and i have a 1080p monitor.
