CPU And RAM Help!

[arkhamfan]

Hi,

I'm very stuck guys and I would be ever so grateful if you could help me.

I'm planning on getting an i5 4670K And I am planning on getting Crucial 2GB PC3-10600 DDR3 Desktop Memory Upgrade 240-pin Dimm RAM.

What I'm wondering is if they will work together?

Thank you!!

CPU's and RAM have will all work with each other. It depends on what your motherboard supports. What motherboard do you have?

It normally will work together.

I see "crucial 2gb" in that message,is that really enough? Not getting 2x4gb?

Yup, that will all work fine. Are you getting a really good deal on the RAM or something. You can get 8 gigs for not that much more money than 4. Also 1066 is a bit slow, not that there is really a noticeable difference in real world performance. But you can still probably get faster, and more of it for similar prices. What is your budget?

You're very welcome. I was wrong about the cost...sorry. It looks to be about $40 for 4 gigs and around $65 for 8 gigs. 4 should be just fine for normal computer use. Do you do any gaming or music/video rendering or anything on your computer?

Sometimes yeah, but just for fun. 🙂

Alright then you might want a little more RAM. But that is up to you if the price is worth the performance for you. Good luck with your rig.
