Doing a build and cutting costs is definitely a plus. Thishttp://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch_v3.asp?scriteria=BA42027 Is only $99.99 as an mclub member. Additionally I am buying another item on the site so I have a 10 of 100 coupon along with a $5 review coupon basically making this kit $85 dollars with no tax or rebates. Looks like a pretty good deal for 1333 mhz ddr3. My only reservation is that its a no name brand.

Any advice, experience with avexir, or maybe a good deal out there on a 4gb kit I am missing?
 


I think your tech related expression fits pretty well here haha. We are looking at the same info and just viewing it in different ways.

As for your computer. First, I personally would advise against getting an i5-4670. My reasoning for this is completely because Intel has a series of CPUs often overlooked by most users, the Xeon server CPUs. At the same price as the i5-4670, you can get a Xeon CPU that is 3.2Ghz instead of 3.4Ghz so in a way its a little slower, but it also has an additional 2MB of L3 cache, and hyper threading. So in reality it will perform about the same, but when you have a heavily threaded task it will perform much much better.

Another way of looking at it is, an i7 CPU at an i5 cost.

Also ignore the TDP Newegg has listed, Intel lists a TDP of 84 just like all the others. I personally would go with this over the i5.

As for graphics, I personally would go with AMD. I feel that you get a better performance per dollar out of them. Thats not including their game deals either, but Nvidia is also good.

I am happy to help you look through everything, but again I don't mean to nag but it would be better for you to start a new thread.Helps to keep things straight, because sometimes people jump in without reading anything except part of the first thread and then post nonsense, and also other users who have a much better handle on the Nvidia cards will be able to pitch in.

If you do make one, and would like me to still help you, then just give me a PM and I will come find it and help in whatever way I can.

Good luck with the build :)
 
My first experience with avexir was bad. I bought the 2GB version about 3 years ago, and it didn't last for a year. I had it replaced twice. I see someone here had the same experience 😀 On the contrary my 4GB Patriot is still working after 2 years.

 


Please do not revive year old threads.
 
I have been on several site, threads and forums and other than this thread i have found nothing but great reviews on the Core series ddr4 ram. i have owned a set of ddr3 avexir and they never gave me a problem. i clocked them, i ran multiple instances of memtest... never a hiccup. so far the company looks as though it has proved this several year old thread wrong by only getting better with time. They seem to focus on 1 type of ram at a time vs other companies like gskill who have 500 types and the majority have problems. just my 2c
 
My only experience with Avexir is nothing but headache. It's the budget series DDR4 that was forced on me in the Cyberpower prebuilt PC I bought from Best Buy. It's billed as 2133@1.2v but I was forced to downclock to 1866 because I experienced nonstop system freezes especially when gaming. I swapped my power supply, underclocked my GPU, moved my pagefile to separate drives...anything to regain control of my system and almost needlessly spent money on more RAM thinking 8 gigs wasn't cutting it. I even tried raising the RAM voltage. Nothing. Finally, I lowered the clock thinking that would let me tighten up my timings (which I learned on my board isn't possible, duh!) and lo and behold, total stability! I could even crank my in game settings and max my VRAM (only 2g card) where before that was the biggest nightmare for my gaming, now it's smooth as silk. BF4, dxtory, Firefox, Teamspeak, and PrecisionX all chugging along together without a single hiccup. So either this RAM is crap and can't carry its own weight, or the company is crap and can't give us honest numbers on their RAMs capabilities! 2133 CAS15 running at 1866 STILL at CAS15. Ridiculous.
 


Think about Xiaomi. They are fairly new in the scene, but they now dominate mobile industrt in the entire asia.

Why didn't you take it back to BestBuy and tell them it was crap?
 
More updates, since this thread still comes up near the top of Google Avexir results lol. I had 2x8GB of Avexir Core DDR3 series that worked great for a couple of years before 1 stick went bad. Replaced with 4x4GB of Crucial Ballistix Tracers DDR3 that look fantastic and are still running great in that system. In my new system (since crucial doesn't make DDR4 Tracers yet) I have 4x4GB of Avexir Blitz 1.1 DDR4 3000 that looks great and is running perfect so far. Will update if I have any memory issues.
