Im looking to upgrade my PC (I say upgrade but only part ill be moving to new system is my sandisk extreme SSD)
I currently have QX9650 Intel CPU 8gb DDR Ram and ATI 5870 1Gb GPU.
Looking to spend approx. £1800 (all at Overclockers only) to play games on 24 inch monitor 1920 x 1080 resolution. Build primarily for Crysis 3, Battlefield 4.
I want:
Intel 4770K 3.5ghz CPU
ASUS Sabertooth Z87 Motherboard
Thermaltake Water 2 pro CPU Cooler
Thermaltake Armour Revo Case
Thermaltake 1275 Platinum 80 plus PSU
Gainward Phantom GTX 780 GLH edition 3gb
Western Digital 1tb Velociraptor Hard Drive
RAM I am unsure I ultimately want 32gb but will be getting 16gb for now would prefer fastest RAM and am looking at Patriot Black Mamba 2x 8gb set. it has been 5 years since I properly built PC and unsure how to decipher all the RAM MHz speeds. Overclockers lists the speed category as Dual 10666, 12800 and 14400+ but any help would be greatly received about A) what RAM for this system or B) whether the components listed could be changed for something else? I would like to delve into Overclocking the CPU for my first time ever, I don't want anything ridiculous just stable and so my PC could hopefully last another 5 years or so!
Thanks
