There is no reason whatsoever to get three memory sticks of one gigabyte, get either 2x1gb or 2x2gb for x64 operating system. The motherboard runs on dual channel, not triple like the core i7 motherboards. Also, ram is dirt cheap, get 1066mhz. And if going for quad core, go with the 45nm series while making sure the motherboard will support it. MOBO: Asus P8Z77-M CPU: i7-3770 Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO GPU: Gigabyte GTX 980 4GB MEM: 16GB Kingston HyperX Beast 2133Mhz SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB HDD: WD Black 3TB Sata 6Gb/s CASE: Corsair Carbide 330R PSU: Antec HCG 620W Semi-Modular

Of course there's a point, just not a good one.

what's the difference tween 260GTX n 280GTX?...can i put,for example,Team Fortress 2 TO THE MAX?..usin' E6600@2,4ghz..if CPU's not good you should Overclock it,but if you're afraid (like me) to OC just get an E8400 from Intel,cheap at the moment for gaming purposes,since Quad these days are not much useful if u dun do video editing or stuff.. ASUS X570 TUF GAMING PLUS, 32GB DDR4@2666 ,RYZEN 5800X3D (NO OC),GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Super GAMING OC, Western Digital Blue 4TB 5400RPM + SAMSUNG 860 EVO 500+1TB GB SSDs , OEM SATA DVD 22xNoctua NH-D15 Chromax Black, BenQ XL2420T Case: Be Quiet! DARK BASE PRO 901. PSU CORSAIR RM1200 SHIFT
