OK so I have a parts list set up for a new computer I plan on building by December. I figure its worth it to check it here while I'm still in the planning stages. So my questions would be;
1) Is it worth it to go with 2x 8gb Ram memory? or should I be fine with 4x 4gb? (my worries would be with speed, and actual space)
2)Does it all look compatible to you guys? This is my first time, and though partpicker said there were no issues, I'd like to check to be sure.
3)Is there anything here that you would add, or maybe take out?
4)Are there any recommendable low budget computer screens? I will eventually buy a better nice one, but im looking for a decent-good one for around $100-200? I know that good screens are a good deal more than that, but i can't afford it right just yet.

Thanks! Johan.
 
You can get cheaper MoBo like Gigabyte X-D3H or UD3H

Better SSD like samsung pro or cheaper Sandisk ultra olus.
256GB for 160. Bigger HDD like 3TB

Good air cooler is better than cheap water cooler.
Corsair HX is cheap now on newegg.

And if you want the best PSU then take this 800w or full 1000w

Would that perform equal to the PC build that I had? The reason I ask is there is a lot of taboo about how it's i7 or nothing, and GeForce or nothing. Are these really important? I want to have a PC last awhile before I have to upgrade parts and I feel like an i7 would last longer? And the gtx, would also last longer maybe?
 


Yes i7 works longer time than i5. Because it is faster. And it do have HT+ 8Treads. There is coming new games like BF4 and they work better with i7. + you can OC this i7. If you want to save then you go with 4670k.

GTX 780 Ti is coming soon. Maybe that is bit better than r9 ?
