with the newer amd and intel cpu they run better with fast ram. with this ram you dont have to over clock your system but set it to 2400 default speed. that the min speed you want for ram. most mb bus speed by default is 800 mgh. a 2400 speed ram run 3 to1. speed.

dont forget nvidia and amd have tapped out there next level gpu and there going to be in retail soon in 2016.

It's an excellent build, trust me if it was crap or something seemed off I'd point it out. I guess if I really want to be a stickler about details I would wonder if the EVGA G2 750W (awsome PSU) would be enough for SLI if you eventually went for it as SLI brings the max watts to around 717W total (per PCP/ Potentially higher due to overclocking).

TheMurlocKing · Dec 11, 2015

Smorizio okay thanks! Do you know any ram sticks that has that speed but is black or grey

TheMurlocKing · Dec 11, 2015

Wild, I don't think so lol this gpu is factory ocd and it takes alot, I think I would need 1000w for sli lol

smorizio · Dec 11, 2015

ones i listed are black. if you go under parts picker the color options are near the bottom of the ram options. below the ram size. crucial ram is gray.

TheMurlocKing · Dec 11, 2015

Thanks guys

WildCard999 · Dec 11, 2015

TheMurlocKing :

You don't need 100W, its just very close to the 750W, 850W would be plenty of power.

Only thing I can think of is the Enthoo Evolve case seems a bit overpriced considering the Enthoo Pro is only $99 and has tons of space for building. But really this is just aesthetics. No technical or practical need to change if you don't mind the extra premium for the case.
