PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2015 - Q2

re: Please rename this thread to "PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2015 - Q2

Hello.. I am new to this forums and was going through the basics when i noticed this:


RAM

To make RAM work in dual channel mode you’ll have to insert them into same color slots. For example, if your board has Red – Blue - Red – Blue slots, insert then RAM into either black or blue slots.

Don't you mean insert either in Red or Blue slot? Rather than Black or Blue?

Hi. welcome to Digit Forums

Insert both the RAMs in blue slots, or both the RAMs in black slot.

Hi guys,

I am planning to build a mini itx gaming PC mainly for playing Witcher 3 and other upcoming games at 1080p ultra settings. I have decided for the following parts:

i5 4590
GTX 980
GIGABYTE GA-H97N - tell me any other mini itx non-overclocking motherboard with onboard wifi(very important)
Kingston 8GB HyperX Fury 1600mhz DDR3 - if 16gb is really necessary I will go with that
Seagate 1TB 7200 rpm HDD
Samgung EVO 850 250GB SSD
Corsair Graphite 380T mini itx case
Corsair CS550M PSU - please suggest any other PSU which will handle this config and fit in the above case

Corsair CS550M PSU - please suggest any other PSU which will handle this config and fit in the above case

Seasonic S12II 520 Watts or Seasonic S12II 620 Watts...

re: Please rename this thread to "PC Buying Guide and Suggested Configs 2015 - Q2

Seasonic S12II 520 Watts or Seasonic S12II 620 Watts...

this a 80+ bronze and the corsair cs550m is 80+ gold, and the corsair one is modular and not sure if Seasonic S12II is modular...

Though Seasonic S12II 520 Watts or Seasonic S12II 620 Watts are 80+ Bronze they are made like a Tank with 5 years warranty. Corsair CS550M or Corsair CS650M are 80+ Gold and are only Semi-Modular but not fully Modular.OK.

^ Instead of GTX 750 Ti, get GTX 960. Totally worth the extra price.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
1) Is there a way to go for a bit cheaper PSU and Cabnet so that i can go for 8GB RAM?
2) Also regarding the Motherboard in one of the websites it say the following so should i go for any other MB supporting 64 - bit:-
"Due to a Windows 32-bit Operating System Limitation, When More than 4 GB of Physical Memory is Installed, the Actual Memory Size Displayed will be Less than the Size of the Physical Memory Installed."
3) Also the Graphics Card "Zotac GTX 750Ti 2GB DDR5" should I invest a bit more and go for 960 or this Card is enough for playing the games that are going to be released in future.

Please advise.

1) The cheapest PSU and cabinet has been suggested already. Dont ever compromise on the PSU.Ok.
2) All latest MB's support both 32bit or 64bit OS's.Ok.

"Due to a Windows 32-bit Operating System Limitation, When More than 4 GB of Physical Memory is Installed, the Actual Memory Size Displayed will be Less than the Size of the Physical Memory Installed."
The above sentence means 32bit OS supports only 4GB ram whereas 64bit OS supports more than 32GB ram.Ok.

If you can add another 20k then you can add these:

Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 4GB 1600 MHz -2700,
Asus Strix GTX 960 2GB -17300.
TOTAL -20k

Going by the prices Zotac GTX 750Ti 2GB DDR5- Rs 11000 and Asus Strix GTX 960 2GB -17300 so is there any Graphics Card in the middle range that is good?
