Answer #1
do u really need 3x4gb ram? are those triple channel?
Answer #2
That memory option is senseless. Why buy a triple channel kit for a processor and motherboard that doesn’t support triple channel memory?
Answer #3
I agree with prozac the 12gb ram is useless…. get 6GB or 8GB ram, that will be more than enough for the next 5 years..
You should get a full tower case because it has more airflow and easier+more room to upgrade ur components in the future
Answer #4
So the memory is useless..Okay I will find 6-8GB memory. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311 ===> for the memory
Hows the video card?Is that good and shuld i get another one?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160 ===> for the full tower
Wich one is better for the motherboard?

Answer #5
With all the deals around these days I bet you could get a better rig for way less. Let me see what I can round up on the egg
Answer #6
thank you DREAM!!thats what I rounded up for now. my friend helped me, but i really appreciate if some1 can come up with better deal in price and better rig than what i have now…thank you!
Answer #7
Here you go. Pretty much every single component is better than the ones you’ve picked apart from the casing (which is the same)

You don’t need more than 4GB for gaming or any other general tasks. Unless you plan on running plenty of virtual machines or extreme graphic work you’ll be fine with 4GB. Also, the memory I’ve picked is rated at 1600MHz while yours is 1333MHz
Answer #8
thank you dream..whats the different between i5 that i chose and the one that u recommended?thanks!
Answer #9
thank you dream..whats the different between i5 that i chose and the one that u recommended?thanks!It’s basically a 2.53GHz i7
Answer #10
The xeon has hyper thread support+ it is 4 cores, it also has 8mb cache
Most i5’s are dual cores and non hyper thread support and a less cache than xeon.
I reccomend 2seperate 1TB hard drives that are 7200rpm so u can get a Data drive+system drive, but these will cost quit a bit
otherwise the config by DREAM is good Very Happy
