hey everyone i changed my setup to
an
I5-8600K
ADATA 16 GB CL 16 3000 DAZZLE RED
2TB WD BLUE
MSI Z370 SLI PLUS
GIGABYTE 1080 EXTREME EDITION AORUS
THERMALTAKE 730 SMAERT SE
all in a nZxt 630 ultra tower
my goal is to have a setup which i won't wory about at least 3 years (doesnt matter if i play 50 fps in a 1080p resolution) and won't use it for work like vidéo record etc....
 
i searched everywhere for a 3200 ram but nothing (i'm in algeria gaming devices are hard to find)
really about the psu i always thought it was a good one since it was with me from 2015 with my i5-4690k and never had a issue or not enough power
??
 


My 2 cents... I don't think 3200 RAM make significant real world difference for a modern Intel CPU (maybe 1%)? Your power supply seems OK to me... maybe Lutfij has knowledge of them being prone to breaking down or delivering 'dirty' power... worth doing some online investigation I guess.

I would definitely get a M.2 NVMe drive (or at least a SATA drive) for your C: drive... your system will be much more responsive and 'feel' faster. You could probably get away with 128GB for just Windows, page file and a few select programs, but 256GB would be much better if you have the cash.

GTX 1080 GPU seems a bit extreme for a 1080p display. What frame rate is your monitor capable of? If 85Hz or below, I think a GTX 1060 might be the way to go.
