Gaming PC help

[octatoubes]

Hi guys, it's been a long time since i don't see for components, and a friend of mine asked me to help her building a pc, she whants it for gaming and maybe 3D modeling. so i need a little help from you

Whats the differences of the DDR4 Ram? im looking for the G.skill Ripjaws 2133 DDR4
And what motherboard should i consider? also what AMD GPU and CPU would laest for at leas 2 or 3 years... humm.. also the storage and the power supply.

i was thinking on something like this

Ram 8gb Ddr4 Gskill 2133mhz 2x4gb Ripjaws4 Intel X99
CPU Amd Am3 Fx Series 6300 or 9370
GPU amd 7970
motherboard still don't know and storage, supply or case is the same

What is the budget?

AMD cpu and motherboard dont support ddr4 yet. Plus hd7970 is outdated and power hungry. If you want an AMD setup I would suggest at least fx6300 or fx8350 if your budget is flexible. Plus add 2x8GB of ddr3 ram (some stupid unoptimised games like arkham knight need 12 gb of ram). For Gpu I would suggest R9 380 minimum or r9 390x if your budget is flexible. Any AM3+ motherboard will do unless you want to overclock you would need a 990FX motherboard which are very costly.

DDR4 is obviously faster and costly. I strongly suggest ddr3 unless your budget is 1200$+ .

I don't know why you want an AMD setup, but my suggestion will be intel i3 + gtx960 4gb (4gb is helpful in some games)+16 gb ram+ any H81 motherboard. This setup is very good for your 3d modelling needs and gaming for next 3 years plus its budget friendly.

(I am assuming your budget to be around 500-600$)

wow, a really complete answer from srimasis! the pc is not for me, that's why i was picking the AMD setup for the budget which is surrounding the 1200 exactly... i3 will work for new gaming and modelling? (im a really rusty on hardware)
again, the pc is for a friend so i am really undecided

I built a pc for your friend within your budget hope you like it.
(Core i5, 16gb ddr4, r9 390, Windows 10, 2tb hard drive, less than 1200$)

really nice pc you built, that helps me a lot, unfortunately i checked the prices and it's more expensive where we live (Argenina) but the CPU is in good price, i'll take that. the RAM and te GPU are the real problem those are reeeally expensive here.
