So I was on this website: http://www.logicalincrements.com/#hsfInfoToggle to help me figure out how to build a gaming PC.
I am using this as one of the suggested motherboards
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CU4L6MA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
and in the first link one possible build is using 2 GTX 770 graphics cards, 2GB GDDR5. Although for financial reasons im trying to get one sold by amazon so i can finance it but the only one i can find is this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E4MQO8C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
which is 4GB GDDR5. how can i tell if the motherboard is still compatible to hold two 770s with 4GB and GDDR5?
Mobo specs say Ram is 32GB but i feel like that is what the max it can hold up to, so i can potentiallly shove 4 sticcks of 8GB ram in and it would work. but i dont know if the GPU memory subtracts from that.
also is there any "for dummies" website that i can see all this stuff? amazon electronics specs arent very filled out and its hard for me to tell what is compatible with what. processor with mobo etc.
also i know for now two 770s is probably overkill, i plan on buying one for now with 1gb ram stick with intentions of expanding later.
Also before i forget another question. if i put in an i5 whatever in the motherboard and decide later i want to upgrade, is it possible for me to do that and swap out the processor as long as the faster one is compatible? i feel like its permanent b/c im seeing pictures of people using thermal paste to glue down their processors
Thanks!
