Building a Budget Rig

[WalkinTarget]

I looked at that Ripjaws RAM, but it was a bit slower than the PC3 12800 Patriot kit I got. Not sure how much that affects the memory speeds, but every little bit helps.

If someone is looking for RAM for their Sandy BRidge builds, be sure to get the 1.5v RAM, and not the 1.65 RAM, as SB likes the lower voltage 1.5 stuff for good overclocks.

Actually they just put the designed for intel to make people think they need a special ram.

Sounds like someone has the hook up on computer parts (pshh hook me up ). Guess this means its time for you to upgrade then?

[Brian is Huh?!{CLR}]

Yea..but only downside to getting those parts is that I have to drive out to canoga park.
Which is an hr drive. If you live near LA/Toluca I can get u discounts.
Also I tried an "PC" accessory/addon called Butt Kickers. It vibrates your chair with all the game sounds effects.
