Well, I am going to be building a New PC and I've been fiddling around with the parts I should get and yeah everything seems to be well I want to be running all these games at Medium to High settings games like, Dayz, Warframe, Planetside 2, League of Legends, Watchdogs, Minecraft, Skyrim, and the old Call Of Duty's like COD:Bo1 and MW3 and also left for dead 2 and alot of other games, well here's my build.

The HDMI to VGA Adapter Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004S5H30I/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Here are one of my questions, is my GPU hdmi to vga compatible like for example does it support VGA because on the XFX website on the features tab its just says (VGA) by it self. Also will it affect performance or probably some incompatibility from using the HDMI to VGA Adapter? This is the only problem I have right now that i'm trying to figure out because I am a noob. (hdmi will be on the gpu and the vga will be on monitor). Also I'm going to be upgrading to another 8gb on the near future same kind so yeah, I'm just wondering if it will affect any gaming performance of any kind because I'm not going to be multitasking or anything when playing a game except for having skype or teamspeak on the background to talk to my friends and such.

Cost of Build: $507.56 (Not going over $510)

Better quality ram and 1tb storage instead of 500gb.

As for HDMI to VGA, I use display port to VGA myself on a secondary monitor and it works fine so HDMI to vga shouldn't be an issue

Will the quality of the ram happen to lower down my performance or anything like that? Or whats the difference between this ram and a better quality of another ram stick.
 


Well the one I selected has a lower CAS so would be ever-so-slightly faster in gaming benchmarks, but the difference would be minimal. It's not a big deal.
