Don't mix memory stick sizes like that, best opt for 2x4GB in a dual channel pair packet.

You only need 8 and it works better than having mixed sizes in dual channel.

The rest ist fine. You may want a bigger screen to enjoy those 970 graphics more

your gonna need an optical drive to intlall the drivers for the gpu and i think theres one for the mobo/only some

i never in my long life installed drivers through cd/dvd, i always download them in the official website, did that change?

Yes. The stock cooler is good for stock operation.

When you overclock it is advisable to use a custom cooler for safer and more stable operation.

You can use a basic model like a Coolermaster Evo 212 or go for something nicer like a Cryorig or even Noctua at the top end.

It depends on how hard you want to overclock, what noise level you can tolerate and waht temps you want to keep.

thanks, what about that cd/dvd gpu/mobo drivers? can't i just download them from the seller's website?
what about the power supply, is it enough for all the components?
I wont give up from less than 12gb, and 16gb its too much, ill then get 3x4gb.

Drivers are usually delivered with the motherboard in the box, however newer versions can be installed once the basic setup is complete.

Essentially you can download all drivers online.

I am unsure as to why you insist on 12 GB but it's your choice. 12 GB is just as much too much as 16GB...so you may aswell go for 2x8GB and be done with it.

By buying 3x4 you will need one dual channel kit and one single kit...which is less than optimal as the single stick will not be paired.

That means if you ever do put another one in, even of the same model there is no guarantee they will work together perfectly as they are unmatched.

It is really not a clever decision and the price difference isn't so big.

Really reconsider going 2x8 or 2x4...but 3x4 is plainly a pretty silly decision.

 

[GoncaloSilva]

yes i searched about the prices and i decided to go 16(8x2)
Thanks for all
how can i close the thread? i'm newbie here
