Suggest a Good Budget Ram and Monitor for gaming

Goku Kakkarot · Apr 30, 2015

Hi,

My rig (Common one)

MOBO: GA-78LMT-S2
GPU: R9 270X 2GB
CPU: FX-6300 3.5GHZ
RAM: Simmtronics 4GB @1600MHz
PSU: Corsair VS550
MONITOR: AO6 16.5" @1366×768

I'm able to play games at max but some games still lags like AC3 13-60 FPS on max settings! Can u believe this 13 fps?
My PSU is of very low quality but everything is on stock speed so I should be fine. Shouldn't I?

Also I think the ram is causing these lags in all games but in some games it is more..
I checked I never pass GPU them 75°C and CPU 52°C max so temperature is not bottlenecking!!

Suggest me a good ram should I sell my current ram and get 8gig or get the same ram ?

And I've aldy ordered Dell S2240L 21.5"monitor. Is it good for gaming or should I buy another

Quick question, what HDD is this installed on? I.e what make, speed etc?

I'd say go to newegg.com and get some $60 ram. There are a lot of 2x4gb kits for about $60, and if you wait a week or two and check the Shell Shocker deals each day, odds are you will find a 2x4gb kit for about $50

Means?

sciamwow · Apr 30, 2015

Are you responding to me? And if so, what do you mean?

The guy above me is asking what hard drive you have

JimmoR3M :

I've WD 1.0TB 10EZRX 64Mb cache

If you are okay with running at that resolution, it shouldn't be slowing anything down. Have you tried putting the settings lower to see if it solves the issue?
For ram, just get something cheap like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231422&cm_re=ddr3-_-20-231-422-_-Product

Look around on Newegg. Look for DDR3 ram, a 2x4gb kit, and between $50 and $60. That one I linked looks just fine

Goku Kakkarot · Apr 30, 2015

Yeah when I lower my environmental quality to medium then AC3 runs 25fps+

sciamwow · Apr 30, 2015

Goku Kakkarot :

Okay. I'm no pro, but that extra ram definitely can't hurt to have

Goku Kakkarot · Apr 30, 2015

What about my current ram?

maddogfargo · Apr 30, 2015

Look for a G.Skill 8GB (2x4GB) Kit. CAS 8 or 9 DDR3 1866 should work well.

Remove your OLD ram and install the new RAM in matched pairs and set your BIOS for dual channel support.

Do not mix RAM between old/new or different make/model/speeds. It's a fustercluck trying to get it to work when not using a matched set.

Also, AC is buggy and has performance issues even on highest end systems. It is not a good indicator of system performance.

His motherboard is only rated to handle 1333

sciamwow · Apr 30, 2015

Goku Kakkarot :

You could sell it on eBay or to a friend. Maybe get $20 or so for it

Goku Kakkarot · Apr 30, 2015

My motherboard doesn't support 1866. And how to set to dual channel?

sciamwow · Apr 30, 2015

For your monitor, if you're okay with it then that's fine. You could get a 1080p monitor for around $130, but you would have to lower some settings a bit to get decent frames. In that situation you could also sell the old monitor, but I don't think you could get too much money for it

Goku Kakkarot · Apr 30, 2015

I currently have 1600nhz ram and it is running fine so i think my mobo support 1600

Goku Kakkarot · Apr 30, 2015

Bro I've already ordered:- http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009H0XQPU/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1430407745&sr=8-1&keywords=dell+s22+monitor

What'd I say? Shell Shocker deal today, 3PM Pacific Time. This ram is normally $60, but at 3PM Pacific Time it'll probably go down to $50 if I had to guess:
