Ok, so I built a machine.
Here's what it has right now:
Corsair Obsidian Series 650D case
Corsair HX Series HX850 power supply
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX
ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z AM3+ motherboard
SAMSUNG 840 Series MZ-7TD120BW 2.5" 120GB SSD <- this is the boot drive
Samsung 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SSD
HIS H797QMC3G2M Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition
Now, the question is about the RAM.
It has 16gb of non-gaming optimized memory in there. It's not even the fastest the motherboard can handle. I don't remember but it's probably DDR3 1066.
How much would upgrading the memory improve my system? Is it bottlenecking it right now? What will it affect? FPS? What?
What should I get to replace that? Should I add more and leave those in there and make it 32gb or is it better to remove those and get a faster 16gb pair?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!
