FYI All especially for guyzz in Mumbai..
I bought this config from Lamington road the rates are different though.
First Rate is the proposed rate, 2nd is the street rate after the shop keeper add his cuts.
I had to pay by cash, if you swipe a card you will be charged 2% extra for bank transaction charges by the shop.
Only shops in malls are not charged this transaction cost.
Hope this helps you guyzz.

Oh btw the system runs super fast I am getting high FPS in most of the games in Ultra settings few are 48-50 FPS but the feel is totally different its lot better than those PC's in gaming centers.

Hi Guyzz,

I am going to recommend this build to one of my friend who is interested.
Let me know if 550 Power supply is really needed or 520 is enough for the config below.
Also is there a variation in Intel Core i5 6500? two models available in this? how to find in system which one I got?

Hi guyzz,

I bought a Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB 2400Mhz Ram but my system shows bit different in Mhz can someone help me understand this. Attached ram specs for reference.

That motherboard's memory frequency is 2133Mhz. Thats why your Pam's frequency is set to 2133Mhz (Its Double Data Rate so 1066.67*2 = 2133Mhz). You will have to change settings in BIOS to set it to 2400Mhz

You have to enable XMP settings in Bios to see 2400Mhz clock speed.

Otherwise it will stay in its default speed of 2133Mhz only.

So am I correct to assume this is "Overclocking" to reach that 2400 MHz potential of the ram?

Will this overclocking heat my computer or cause system instability any further? I don't have a Air Conditioner in my room and use a good cabinet "Antec GX 200" for cooling which has good fans.
this is my config.
Intel Core i5 6500 -15000 - 15100
Gigabyte B150M-D3H -7000 - 7200
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2400Mhz -5000 - 7350
Antec VP550P -3500 - 3700
Zotac GTX1060 6GB -22000 - 23300
WD Caviar Blue 1TB -3500 - 3450
Antec GX200 -2500 - 3050
LG 22MP68VQ-P 22" LED IPS -9500 - 8600

I know I am asking too many questions may sound bit irritating but google hasn't been helpful with a proper result.
Should I try doing this? Currently system performance is already good should I just let it be or experiment overclocking?
Your expertise & advice will be deeply appreciated.

Overclocking the ram is not going to heat up your room in any way. since it is being done automatically by the mb it wont affect the stability either. btw i dont think there is much to gain from overclocking your ram unless u have a slower proccy like an i3. u wont see any difference in everyday usage. so calm down and start gaming.
Also there is no such thing as too many questions. Have fun.

Above config is excellent and will run many
years.

But you need to clean the cabinet at least every 6 months.

In order to overclock even a non-k skylake processor like yours, you need any Z170 motherboard only like Gigabyte Z170-D3H @ 11.5k and use any auto OC settings in the Bios.

For overclocking your RAM, you need to use the XMP settings in the Bios.

No amount of heat will be generated while OCing RAM but while OCing the processor using Z170 motherboard, you need to use after market cooler like Cooler Master Hyper 212X @ 3k

Its partially true if someone is not OC'ing the RAM to warp speed with voltage+

The temp delta is negligible to the amount of ambient heat. But its also true that the integrated memory controller in the CPU may not like a very high volt amp! and that extra voltage in the BUS may cause a spike in overall system thermal, which obviously will contribute to the increase in ambient PC temperature,which is again a thermal pocket in the room, so yes its gonna heat up your room in some ways.

Thank you all for this discussion it has really been really helpful.
I have decided not to go for OC as current system(config) advised by bssunireddy and others is already a good performer.
I have been playing Doom 2016, Overwatch and many others with excellent performance already.

Keep up this support guyz It will help someone definitely in someway.

I have added your reputations to discussion attendees so that this effort in helping others does not go in vain.

Please advise as my build is 3 years old.
I dont have a clear favorite of any brand as long as it works good in market.
Purpose of build is mid level gaming

Create a new thread as this thread is more than 3 years old. Also your current config is good enough so upgrade is only recommended if you are experiencing some pc issues.

Your budget is too low for upgrading them. Add Crucial MX500 500GB and another 8GB ram stick instead. Do note that newer AMD CPUs work better with faster ram in case you want to upgrade to them. 1060 is still good enough for 1080p60 at mid-high settings.
