oops..i didn't know tht. Thanks.

Also people should stop giving a specific brand recommendation. Atleast should mention there are better alternatives.
ZOtac GTX970 (Base model) isn't the best compare to their AMP edition,Asus STRIX, MSI and the likes. I returned it because the Temp reach 80 even before the GPU utilization reaches 60% and throttle a lot.

Hey i have a question about the motherboard, i won't be using two graphics card could you suggest another good quality motherboard which dosen't have two graphics card slots , i will put the extra money to buy intel 6600 processor instead of 6500.

Can i use Corsair VS450 450 Watt PSU instead of 520w?


I also need advice from where to buy it online. Is primeabgb.com safe to buy? They don't have cod option in their payment thats a worry for me, but their prices are much lower that other sites. Anyone had any experience with primeabgb.

Could you also comment on the motherboard query above.

I have a question about the ram.
is this ram good? G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4 F4-3000C15D-16GRBB 16GB RAM

I read somewhere that 3000MHz is not your standard plug and play ram, is that true?


Taken from newegg review

Manufacturer Response:

Glad to hear you got this high performance memory at a low price. With a compatible motherboard and capable CPU, this RAM can perform extremely well. Keep in mind DDR4-3000 is not your standard plug and play RAM, so please make sure to configure settings in UEFI, or manually input settings supported by your hardware. Not all CPUs and/or motherboards can fully support DDR4-3000. If you would like easy plug and play memory, consider DDR4-2133. Also, with new hardware, always make sure you have the latest firmware version for optimal performance and stability. If you feel a module is no longer working, send them in for RMA exchange to receive a new kit right away. Once you receive the new RAM, if you would like help settings up the system, please don't hesitate to let us know. The G.Skill support team will make sure 16GB of extreme memory is working fast and stable in your new computer. We are certain you can be fully satisfied with this product.

Thank you
GSKILL SUPPORT

Got it, will buy the 2400MHz version.

Can you suggest a good quality budget case ( 2000rs - 3000rs ) to accommodate MSI H170A PC Mate motherboard and Zotac GTX970 4GB DDR5 graphics card.

Go with Corsair SPEC-01 @ 3.5k
The above case is light in weight and has a Side window panel. You can add 2x120mm front fans and 1x120mm top exhaust fan and 1x120mm rear exhaust fan.
