Ddr4 and psu for new build

[TheMetalizer7734]

In the midst of building a new pc and wondering how much ddr4 and psu would be the best.

Pervious pc specs:
Operating system - windows 10
Graphics card - 2047MB NIVIDIA Geforce GTX 750ti
Motherboard - MSI 760GM-P23(FX) (MS-7641) (CPU 1)
Processor - AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 (4cpus) ~3.0 GHZ
8.00 GB Dual Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz RAM
Direct x 11
Psu- ult lsp 550 atx
Ddr 3 8 gig

New pc specs:
The maximus hero viii
Intel i5 core 6600k
Gtx 750 ti ( planning on upgrading to something on the gtx 970 tier later down the road)
Operating system- Windows 10
Cpu fan- undecided

The monitor i use currently is a 32" 1080p flat screen if that info is needed.

So would my current psu be enough or should i get a newer once since i will be adding a better card? I don't plan on overclocking or using crossfire/SLI anytime soon.

Any and all help is much appericated.

Hi,

I'd say that it's probably best to buy a new psu to power you machine because you don't want to fry it! I'd suggest around 550 watts and 80+ gold from Corsair or 700 watts for future proofing.

For the ram I'd say if you are gaming you shouldn't go below 8gb or above 16gb unless you start to do video editing. I wouldn't worry too much about speed just around 2000mhz will be fine.

Hope your new build goes well!
