Guys, may I ask a question regarding a new build ?
I have two options. either go DDR3 or DDR4.
I play Games and want to do some graphics work with Autodesk and similar graphics programmes but nothing to heavy. Rendering buildings etc.
Non Negotiable are AMD GPU and MSI / ASUS MOBO and 16GB+ Ram. 750W semi modular PS with a Coolermaster Evo 212 / Wraith fan as I am not ready for liquid cooling.
Case already has 4 fans.
The games that I play are Sniper Elite 1-4. Tomb Raider (all) Thief up to Thief 4 etc.
I do not overclock anything at any time.
I can either go DDR3 MOBO and 4GB Processor AMD FX8350 with ASUS M5A78L mobo or equivalent with 16GB of Ram and something like an RX480 4GB or would i be better with 8GB card ? for about £300.00 + GPU
Or
Would I be better to go DDR4 again MSI B350 or equivalent ? 16GB Ram and a RX480 or nearest AMD (i never use NVidia) for about £500 + GPU
Not really interested in Quake or Doom or being VR ready or dual GPU. I do not have SSD drives yet
What would you guys suggest as a system for say the next 3-5 years ?
I am open to all points of view and appreciate your time. Purchase to take place end of April 18
