Here is the build: [urlExt=https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Kgd3Yr]https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Kgd3Yr[/urlExt]

So I just want to know if there's better part I could get for the same price or so. What's the difference of having Windows on USB and on CD. Is the RAM is made for OverClocking ? Is it already OC ?

Thank you very much for reading! I'm waiting your advices! Thanks again!

It is nearly 80% more powerful than the one you listed. Will last way longer for gaming without the requirement of upgrade.

I love those parts, just one question... why the 7700 instead of the 7700k OR 1600x?

Probably OP don't want to OC the CPU he only wants to OC Memory. He prefers Intel over AMD so no Ryzen.

OP if needs OC build please reply.

This is OC build.

Add HDD in future. That SSD will last you few months before it runs out of space.
