Ok, I've been going back and forth on building my own or having CyberPower do it, but I'm finding out CyberPower doesn't have everything I want unlike shopping at NewEgg. I'm a single video card user as I have a small room and fear adding extra heat with another card, let alone I game at 1050 or so, so it's not like I'm going nuts. Also, I just don't trust liquid cooling. But I will still get a multi-card board just in case. I'm most concerned about memory as I want 16GB's of dual channel and I'm not sure what is best to get in terms of DDR3 speed like these 2000+(OC) ones. If I'm not an overclocker, should I stick to 1600 or 1866? I picked Corsair as I've had great experience with them. They do make a Vengence series below the Dominator. I know the rule of thumb is the denser the better, and I saw something like an 8GB single Corsair Vengence that I could buy two of for dual channel? But, I would like to hear about other high quailty brands for 16GB of dual channel operation. Also, I worry about onboard sound quailty and have long enjoyed Creative. Again, if I don't OC anything or "MAYBE" and that's a big maybe would try a little, what memory would be good to get for 16GB dual channel that is fast and solid as a rock. As far as my system below, I would just bring over my SATA data storage drive from my current machine I suppose?
Below is a system I just quickly put together as a NewEgg wish list: Any thoughts would be appreciated..........Thanks!
