Hi,
I'm running into memory problems when playing games - Although my mobo supposedly supports up to 8gb, half the slots are faulty so I'm limited to 4gb. This is just not enough, e.g. for Witcher 3, fractured space, and since I'm still running phenom II, I'm past overdue for an upgrade!
I have an amd hd6850 which is still serviceable for now considering I'm only on (2x) 22" 1680x1050 so thinking I just need mobo + cpu (+hsf) + ram.
for lga1151 I see there are different chip sets and options for ddr3 / ddr4 so have little idea which direction to go here.
However, I do want to keep options open for up to 64GB ram, and so starting with 1x16gb or 2x16gb would seem to make sense.
If I could get all this for £300 that would be great, but am open to more expensive options as long as the 'bang for buck' is there, or it's a necessity for the future proofing I'd like - I also don't want to jump into an end-of-line socket with no CPU upgrades possible.
Please let me have your suggestions
