Hi all, this will be my first build. Any suggestions on ram to match my mother board, power supply, and anything else is very much appreciated. This is a secret build for my wife's birthday so I'm really excited about it and instead of starting new threads, I'll post everything in this thread as I try and figure it all out.
Here are the specs of what I am ordering so far.
Motherboard: MSI Z97 MPower
SSD Drive: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
Case: Rosewill THOR V2-White Edition
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
OS: Win-7
Any suggestions on power supply to run all this without overdoing it?
Also looking for the fastest CD/DVD drive, not burner, as she still wants to use some old games, sim city etc.
If I forgot anything to make the system work, please let me know as I'm still a little buzzed at all the advances in tech and have not kept up on it for quite some time now. I myself am still running a 2001 Toshiba Satellite A40 with 500MB of ram and my wife has a 13 old dell dimension.
My wife is not a heavy gamer or anything like that, but I want it to be a solid machine for really fast internet as we have a new fibre optic cable now as well as for editing video's etc.
