Would like to get some advice about pc parts

[WhyFy78]

Hello, i need an opinion about some pc parts that i'm going to purchase. I don't really know much about brands and quality parts, so i need your help guys.

Few things that are in my plans of purchasing:
-ASRock 960GC-GS FX, 760G

-SILICON POWER DDR3 Non-ECC (4GB,1333MHz) CL9 x2

-Cooler Master Hyper 212 cpu cooler

I'm using corsair 430 bronze psu

So my questions would be:
-are these quality parts? if so what is the usual life span for them?
-are there any alternatives (better ofc) that would fit in the same price tag?

ASRock is good.

never heard of silicon power.

Best cooler for the price.

PSU is fine.

Alright, other choise would be - PATRIOT Signature Line DDR3 (4GB,1333MHz) CL9 Retail?

 

[woltej1]

Patriot is well known, I'd be more comfortable with that.

Okay, what about the mobo? You said that the asrock is good, but i would like to know little more about the mobo itself, like, do the ram sticks work well with this mobo? Are there any restrictions to what type and/or speed does the ram has to be? I'm not into these deep specifications, so sorry for my noob knowledge

Also one last thing - what kind of thermal paste i should use? cheap ones or the expensive ones? Maybe you could give me some examples?

 

[woltej1]

that cooler will come with its own that is decent stuff. Just use that.

Hello, i'm here again. It seems, that my local pc part shop doesn't have the patriot, so i need help again :/

This time i have 4 participants:
1. DDR3 Adata 4GB 1333MHz CL9, Retail
2. MEMORY DIMM 4GB PC10600 DDR3/CT51264BA1339J CRUCIAL
3. MEMORY DIMM 4GB PC10600 DDR3/BLS4G3D1339DS1S00CEU CRUCIAL
4. DDR3 Kingston HyperX Red 4GB 1333MHz CL9 1.5V

Whats is the difference between those 4?

up

 

[woltej1]

not much really, all 4 are fine choices. go with whatever will look the best in your rig.

Alright! ordered the 4th one (it had something like a radiator-thingy add-on on it's chips). I just hope it's not an ECC ram, i heard those actually slow down the pc :/
