Get 16gb 2x8gb sticks instead of 4x4gb sticks. windows will be able to manage better. Most places I've seen recommend getting 2 sticks instead of spreading it out over 4.

I'd also say, don't get a K model CPU if you don't plan on ove clocking. and if you are, you'll have to get a better cooling unit to get some decent overclocking.

This is what I use, and I to overclock to 4.2GHz. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Seireiju/saved/20TU
I'm not overclocking, What processor would you recommend? I prefer i7 4th generation.

If you have a budget like that get a i7 4770k and GTX 780 don't WD hard drives get a Seagate Barrucuda and SSD get a Samsung 840 120GB

So I've been planning to get a new computer as my current one is getting old. I am interested in a gaming PC which could handle minecraft at 300+ FPS, No budget required.


I have already planned on getting an i7 3770k Intel processor and a GTX 780 graphics card (if there are any better graphic cards out there could you please inform me.) I'm pretty certain on my processor as it seems too be one of the best processors.

I also need a website to build this computer.
The parts/specs that I mainly need are:
The motherboard
Sound Card
Graphics card
Speakers
Processor/CPU
Memory/Storage
The amount of ram
Everything important to building a good PC!
Thank you =D
If you want to go all out (like I did) get a second hard drive, in total my computer has 3TB of storage.
You're also going to want to clock your processor a bit to make it run faster. Be sure to do some stress tests if you do that. I'm not good at all with computer specs, but those were two contributing factors I remember to making a really high-end computer.
How do you clock up your processor, I need I do it but idk how.
