Hello,

I'll shortly be buying the components to put together my first custom PC and have been browsing these forums/watching videos to get an idea. I've come up with this (copied other lists ;))

Powercolor Radeon R9 270X DEVIL 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
AMD Piledriver FX-8 Eight Core 8320 Black Edition 3.50GHz (Socket AM3+) Processor - Retail
Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX)
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD
Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Drive (SH103S3/120G)
SuperFlower Amazon 550W "80 Plus Bronze" Power Supply
OcUK 20x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - Black (CC-9011023-WW)


Will this all work together and am I missing any essentials? I don't really understand RAM as a whole and the different types/speeds etc. Not sure if I'll need an upgraded CPU cooler. Please suggest any alternatives. Computer will be used mainly for gaming, mostly MOBA/RTS. Any help much appreciated :)

Thanks
 
Thanks for the help guys, I've went for that blue led ram as unfortunately the other one suggested is out of stock. From what I can make out from the internet the Avexir RAM has a better RAM latency? the 9-9-9-24 as opposed to 27 but I still don't really know what this means!

YOUR BASKET
1 x Raijintek Themis Direct Contact CPU Cooler £17.99
Total : £23.96 (includes shipping : £4.98).



I've went for this cooler as I was worried about some of the others fitting in the case.

Hopefully all goes well!
