Answer» I need some info or advice for a computer build, All I really need is ram ( I want to to fill windows 7 64 bit full). And a good gaming motherboard, I prefer gigabytes but am open to all. budget 140.00 dollar's. I have a Intel core i5-4670k LGA1150 processor, Antec 900 case ( may buy a cool master haf later). Running windows 7 64 bit, Now I heard that this ones important, Have a GeForce GTX 750ti, and a Corsair CX750m power supply.I think broni gave me some advice on a build years ago and that set up is still working today. Thanks.As far as a motherboard goes I'd focus on getting one from either Gigabyte or ASUS with a Z87 chipset. Unless you are doing something crazy, something like the Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 would be fine (assuming ATX is okay for you). Now for the RAM, what do you mean by filling Windows 7? Home Premium has the limit of 16gb and higher editions support up to 192gb. There is no point getting tonnes of RAM purely to "Fill Windows 7", GET a reasonable about of RAM for your needs otherwise you are just wasting money that could be put towards more important things like a video card. For most uses 8gb is more than enough. If you haven't yet bought the 750ti, I would then use the remainder of your $140 budget to see if you can bump this up to a 760 as this will give much more benefit than tonnes of RAM. You may also want to think about an SSD as this will really make the machine a lot snappier.Thanks for the reply, I have windows 7 professional 64 bit, So it will support lots of ram, did not mention that, also I have ALREADY bought the 750ti. What is ATX? I really like nividia over Atm as far as video cards. yes I have been thinking of an SSD never put one in a computer. my concern is will all the components work together like the motherboard and the cpu 1150 socket, do they match the bored you mentioned, and if so will it gel with my VID card, and so on.That board I mentioned will work with all of your parts. I would definitely get an SSD, it will just act like a hard DRIVE and be C: and your regular hard drive for storing large files would get a different letter assigned to it. As far as SSD brands, look at Crucial and Samsung.what kind of ram do you recommend? And What Is ATX?.... I like the Z87 chipset will do some research on that. And I will get a SSD also.

As far as RAM goes, just get at least 1600MHz DDR3 of whatever size you want (8gb would be good) - It's also best to get the RAM in the form of a pair of sticks so that would be 2x4gb sticks to get a total of 8gb. ATX defines the size of the motherboard, this is the size that both the Antec 900 and Coolermaster HAF use so that's fine.Thank you young man, you have been very nice and helpful. You remind me of my Son, great young man. You seem to have the right attitude and respect for those who need help. Keep up the good work.

Quote from: Mruniverce on August 02, 2014, 09:33:25 AM what do you think about the Asus Z97m at Newegg for 126 dollars?. That goes back to the whole ATX/microATX thing. That board is "microATX" which means that it is smaller than an ATX board. This will still fit in your case but due to the board being smaller you will get less expansion slots. Personally since you are using an ATX case I would look for an ATX board to take advantage of the extra space in your case.ok, now I understand, and you taught this old guy something. I will go with a gigabyte Z87, stand by for some research, lol.
