Looking for a machine to handle Arma3 and BF4 smoothly. Thanks.
 
Very solid build. You may want to go with a faster RAM though. It would be a shame to have all that firepower and be held back by "average" RAM. I'd at least go to 1866Mhz, maybe more. Very good looking build nonetheless! :)

Appreciate it! Just found a 1866 for only $10 more.
 


This is my own RAM:

It is expensive, but it is VERY good RAM.

Nothing at all wrong with that RAM. It is VERY capable. :)
