that will be a good system except that you wont be able to use the evo 212 with those ram there to tall to go under the fan so get the same adata xpg but version 1 they are low profile memory .

Ok thanks ill change it but should i get an oc build or non oc build

scout_03 · Jun 21, 2014

keep this one since the cpu is a unlocked one so you will be able to do some overclock .

depending on how you mount the cooler, that ram will fit; (not all motherboard ram slots are in the same spot, but this is for a standard ATX board.)

(If you slot the ram in the far right, and in the 2nd from the left slot, it should fit nicely if the cooler is mounted vertically)

If you want to overclock, get this board instead; (I would suggest go for an oc build)

$30 more, but the 12+2 phase power design (Z97-A has 8+2) and ability to keep CPU stable at higher speeds, is worth it. Also matched your blue ram modules

I cahnged my ram to this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31600c9d16gxm
And i like red better lol
Ok i will get that board then

unknownofprob · Jun 22, 2014

If you like red thin get these instead;
ASRock Z97 Killer or for the extra $30 ($20 over budget) get the Z97 X;

G-Skill Trident-X 1600Mhz

Easy solution, if you get the Z97X; slightly over budget, great combination.

This good? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Wendeng/saved/2TKcCJ
Not sure if i should just get a 60hz monitor and save like 100$ but w/e

unknownofprob · Jun 22, 2014

yes, great choice! (the real question is do you like it?) That red theme does look very good in case!

For intense gaming, if you have the eye, then 144Hz is defiantly worth it.

Wendeng · Jun 22, 2014

Alright cool, thanks for the help
Yea the red looks amazing i might get some red led fans to make it glow

unknownofprob · Jun 22, 2014

I would get RED LED fans, that just to make a true impression.

If you want an amazing interior, this is what you want, but not really necessary;
