GigaByte GA-970A-D3 AMD 970 Socket AM3+ ATX Mainboard
8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/2000MHz Dual Channel Memory
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 2GB 16X PCIe Video Card
800 Watts - XtremeGear Gaming Power Supply - Quad SLI Ready
1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
Xion Predator 970 Gaming Series Mid Tower Case
I Want to keep everything the same(price limit so no upgrading) but i was wondering since the suggested watts for power supply is 600w do i need 800w or can i get 700w and the Ram I want 8GB but do i need 2000MHz or can I downgrade to 1600MHz to safe some $$$$?
Thanks in advance for the help!!
This depends on a simple factor:
Will you be upgrading in the future? If so get the 800W. Provides a decent amount of room for upgrading. Now, you wan't 8GB of RAM. I would say that 2000mhz is a waste. Honestly, you could overclock your Ram to 1866 from 1600. Don't bother unless it's like 15-20$ more.
