This system is from a company I respect with a 3 year warranty but this is obviously their cheapest system by some margin (it's also off the shelf/ready to ship so can't be changed). My experience with them suggests it will be ready to go with no bloatware. It contains the 8GB Asus GeForce GTX 1070 , Asus H110-M motherboard, 8GB of 2133MHz Corsair Vengeance DDR4, an i5 6500, 240GB SSD, 1TB HD, Windows 10 home, SSD Boot Drive Installed - Yes, PSU Wattage 450 W.
Obviously I am not technically minded but the motherboard seems to be the big limiting factor although for me I think it's only really the speed of the ram. The speed of the ram seems to be a bottleneck even now and probably more so in the future (http://www.techspot.com/article/1171-ddr4-4000-mhz-performance/page3.html) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er_Fuz54U0Y) but I'm not sure if the speed of the ram would make a difference with a 1070 and i5 6500?
So I think I would want to increase ram to 16GB and perhaps try VR in a year or 2. I have no interest in a second graphic card or anything of that nature. I will be using a 4k monitor mainly for work (well ok and for video) - I'm quite happy to run at 1080p or 1440p for games if need be (or heaven forbid reduce settings and run at 30fps).
So is it just the ram speed which is the problem here and how much of a problem?
