Does my RAM and Motherboard matter?

[Rogurzz]

I have a Lenovo K430 Desktop PC with these specs:

i7 3770
GTX 770
Ramaxel 16GB RAM
Lenovo motherboard

I want to put this system in a new case which will be used for gaming. Would the motherboard and RAM be fine for gaming? Is there any need to upgrade them? For quality etc.

No help?

Hi,
Although your motherboard should be sufficient, I would reccomed replacing it. If you can supply a budget for this I can give suggestions.
From what I found your ram is either old or laptop memory, in either case I would also recommend replacing it with this:

I would also reccomend getting a Hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler for your cpu which will make your cpu run cooler and quieter:

I'm not sure about my budget but I would say £90 budget. My PC is being re built at PCWorld for £80 because it has a warranty. My RAM is DDR3 and runs at 1600 MHz. Will I need more RAM or is this one fine?
