Secret Santa 2024
So I'm thinking on building a computer and would like your opinions on it

Here's the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1bP7m

Since I live in Sweden it'll be around ~1265$

Is there anything you would like to change? :>

I was going with 16gb at first but people told me I could settle for 8gb (since I don't do video editing).

Was also going for that first :3 But the i7 processor only got the advantage in a few games (atm). So if it will change in the future I will go for it :>

Well, lets say you use youtube, all of us do. 10 tabs? Lets look at the memory consumption...

At the same time, we run toribash, not to much of a change, except it keep leaking and eating more and more. Ouch.

Now lets add a game upon that, BF3, Arma, whatever, wow, we passed 8Gig by far.

Lets continue; a Movie! 8Gigs are crying, and so is the youtube buffert that keeps on emptying now.

Wait! I want to open PS and edit a avatar, or Blender and make a fast 3d illustration cause I feel like it (by now you'd have to kill stuff.)

And to add some topping; Lets open uTorrent and share some 100% legal stuff to over 100 peers!

8Gigs won't do for sure, not if you want to stay on top.

I do see your point, I got no idea how much anything consumes in RAM :3 Btw, how much difference does a person notice between a CL 9 and CL 10?


Also I forgot that I could ship some stuff from Germany, so it'll easy on the price

Vodka has asked me to give him local moderator permission in this board. I need to confirm if the leaders are fine with him having lmod rights.

Ctrl+shift+escape and you can watch your UC and RAM use and stuff ;p

More than 8gb of Ram isn't very usefull actually, windows 7 + basics softs use approximatively 1gb, that makes 7gb left for games and softwares. If you're not planning to have 3 or 4 screens and do a thousand stuff at the same time you can stick with 8gb

I don't see the point to be able to play 2 games, watch a movie and browse the internet at the same time, unless you have 2 brains and 8 eyes ;o
