Lets build a powerful gaming pc

Good set of components Saviour. I see they are out of stock but I would recommend a matched RAM set with 2x8GB sticks. It should perform better with 2 rather that 4 sticks. Some boards have issues when all 4 RAM slots are populated, however that may not be the case with Intel chips.
In general ASUS support is on the poor side.

Yes,you are right,i had this in mind also.

with intel generally using matched xmp compatible ram, will avoid most possible issues.

That is in the way of simply functioning. You do need to be more picky if overclocking is a thing for you.

Also correct.

I would go with at least 1600 RAM.
1866 is nice, just understand most games & general use will see no benefit over 1600. Although some apps, it will help.

So, Id say 1600 as its the sweet spot, and if price is not that much more or within budget 1866 wouldnt be a terrible idea.


As far as the GPU goes, the 580 is a very good choice IMHO. And eVGA is certainly a good brand for Nvidia.
But, the 570s are not that far behind and a good deal cheaper.

Although teh 580 does have more muscle, IMo you cant go wrong with the 580 or 570s.
It really will come down to budget, and how much you want to invest.

After tomorrow i'll visit the shop,i want to check few hardware,case real size etc.

I want to "travel" hidden all the wires "outside" of the case,i like "clean" case no wires like the one i use now,you can see only the gpu wire nothing else.

There are quite a few cases that offer excellent cable management. the Corsair series are very good for it too.

For the price point with the 580, The 7950's we have atleast in Australia are pretty much the same price but perform better. However, you may be a Nvidia fan or they may be cheaper where you are situated because stuff is redonkulously priced here.
