Okay,
So it's been some time since my last post of my PC which can be found here
Here's the new one
Specs:
CPU - Intel Core i5 6600K @ 3.50GHz
RAM - 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3
MOBO - Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. Z170-HD3
GPU - 1535MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (Sapphire/PCPartner)
HDD1 - 1TB Western Digital
HDD2 - 500GB Western Digital
SSD - 250gb Samsung Evo
Wireless adapter - TP-Link
LEDs - Nzxt something
Got my dads yahama stereo speakers which i've hooked up to my surround sound (base speaker is under desk so you can't see) - Some wicked sound god damn.
So yeah. That's it.
I'm sure some will criticise about certain things, such as;
- RAM, you should have gone for DDR4 instead of DDR3, i know i know. I went for DDR3 as i had it laying around and a decent amount of it, so i used it.
Also, DDR4 is actually becoming relatively cheap nowadays so i definitely will invest in some of that good stuff.
- GPU, f*** me, a 660? Yes, a 660. Why? Because i didn't feel the need to splash out a great amount of money on a gpu considering all i do is play League of Legends and maybe render some shit on c4d once in a while.
It does more than i need. Also, with upcoming releases of GPU's, there's no need to buy one now, i might aswell wait some time.
Bam. I've had this baby for 2 hours already since i built it, haven't done much but i love it.
Sorry for no more in-depth photos, opening it up is too much effort for me.
Opinions?
i don't think it's very efficient to just mix ram of different brands/specs up. you said you just had some laying around which is why i'm saying that
yeah man, ddr4 is the way to go.
I doubt supporting ddr3 will slow the down the processor? Will just be an instruction set.
I'm guessing its better for marketing to have backwards compatibility, considering most people wont see many performance increases from DDR4 anyway. Plus if they only supported DDR4 people that are just looking to upgrade their cpu to latest gen would have to get a new motherboard and ram. I mean skylakes the first consumer grade (not enthusiast) group of processors to support ddr4, its a transition phase.
Just read this again (i derped), you cant put ddr3 in ddr4 mobos
You'll need a Z710 motherboard that has DDR3 compatibility, like this one here. You cannot however, use DDR3 memory in a Z710 motherboard, which only supports DDR4 memory, or vice versa.
