Puffwagon Puff Gold Donating Members 15,117 Member For: 9y 2m 21d Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 04/02/19 09:56 AM Share Posted 04/02/19 09:56 AM Yeah my ram will work. I have a 16GB set that I'm not using. Realistically you will have minimal gainz in gaming, as 8GB does the trick for the most part. In saying that, I mostly see more than 8GB usage when gaming at 1440p. THe ram I have can run at 2133MHz and was some of the better stuff on the market a few years ago. If you're going to upgrade your gpu then get a gtx1080 or better as your system will support that level (or better) of gpu before bottlenecking the cpu. If you're running 1080p then a lesser gpu will suffice. If you want it, we can sort it out via pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
