I wanted to build my own PC but i was told this build was a great value. I was think of just switching the RAM for an 8gb corsair vengeance 1866. Any thoughts?

Solution


how heavy a multitasker? what tasks? gaming might be the least of your concerns depending on what your workload looks like
 



I use a lot of office (always have at least 2 word docs open and a heavy excel file with macros), and always have firefox open with at least 5-6 tabs with torrents downloading in the background.
