Im building my own pc and was just wondering if this build is going to be Ok. Im not a really heavy gamer but i want performance. Im also not sure if im going to OC or not yet.

this is more of a great gaming build.. could make it cheaper like a i5 will give similar performance

cas 10 is not so great for 1600mhz ram.. cas 7 is like light speed at 1600mhz but for a z motherboard there is really no reason not to get like cas 9 at 1866mhz

Ty for you answer

Think im going to stick with the i7. if i have the budget then i guess there is no downside of getting the i7?

Is the difference noticeable between cas 9 or 10? because thats one of the parts i already have

its no biggy if you already have them.. there is only a few frames difference in any ram for gaming

no downside at all to the i7.. there is a few games that can use its hyperthreading and im sure there will be more

the only other thing i could say to make it better is a 250gb ssd and a 750w psu so your set for future sli

np.. i would say intel and samsung make the best ssd's but crucial is not far behind and i guess amd is making them now too but i have not seen the performance
