That RAM is a total waste on such a powerful chipset.

So is this something you have right now, or planning to get?


If you're planning to get this build
Wait next month, the 8th gen will come out, and the i5, and i7 are going to be six cores, and all you have to get is a Z370 motherboard, the motherboard will be cheaper than what you're looking at, and the 8th gen i5 will have six cores compare to that quad core CPU you're looking at, but everything else seems alright.

Terrible, not to sure why the x299 chipset with an i5.

Save some cash and wait till October 5th for coffee lake.

You can do it better...

Here is an i5 example

*note, new intel cpu is coming, maybe worth waiting and go with i5 coffee lake.

but isn't the clock speed lower on that? 3.8 compared to the 4 on the 7640x? I'm confused.

I'm also not that comfortable building one myself. It might not be beyond me, but I wouldn't know.

Speeds don't mean anything unless they're the exact same architecture, also you won't see much of a difference for only 200mhz.

The 7640x will be slightly better for the IPC, but in real world meaning for games, the most you're going to see is 0 - 3 FPS for difference in game. Again the 8th gen Intel coming out in a few weeks, they will cost about the same as last 7th gen, and the Z370 motherboards are cheaper than the 299X motherboards, not only you be saving money, but you be getting more for the money.

Yeah, I'm planning on holding off for the 8th gens.

Watched a youtube video on it yesterday. All those damn wires lol

So go with the partlist above, scratch the current gen mobo and intel and add the next gen. at release.

Yea, but isn't that much confusing coz of manuals etc. for every part.

This video will teach you step by step at a slow pace, explaining every little details, and his opinions.

This video will show you what it look like when applying thermal paste on the CPU, in different styles. The best style is the pea style.

X299 build done right:

But yeah I would wait few months for 8th generation Coffee Lake i5 and Z370 motherboard, you would get 6-core CPU build lot cheaper.
