They do work together...but thats an awful lot of RAM to be using.

Do you need 32GB? Do you have a copy of Windows that supports that much RAM?

Also for a single GFX card a good 550W PSU is plenty and indeed there are higher quality units than the CX range.

The Kingston V300 range also isnt a very good SSD.


Hows this?
