I just took advantage of some Black Friday sales and have started my new build. This is what I've purchased so far:

Intel I7 4790k
Asus Maximus VII Hero
MSI GTX 970 Golden Edition
Samsung Evo 5 Pro 256G
Coolermaster evo 212 cooler
Fractal Design Define R4
LG BR burner

still need to acquire 2400 DDR3 ram (16g). Any recommendations for brand/model?

reusing a previously acquire 2T WD drive

any thoughts?

Have you checked out pcpartpicker.com?

This memory, G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400, appears to be one of the highest rated.

Here is another, Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3-2400 240-pin DIMM.


Intel i7-13700K
Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Ultra
Radeo RX 570 (8GB)

Thanks. I was going to get the trident X but it was sold out on newegg.
