PC Upgrade Ideas
in Desktops ·
Hey guys.
I'm looking to grab a CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, and a PSU for under $1333.
Here’s what I was thinking about picking up:
-Intel Core i7 8300 3.3GHz, 16MB, 125W, LGA 1156
-DDR3 4GB (1x4GB) Kingston, 1866MHz, CL10, Corsair Vengeance
-ASUS Prime, LGA 1156, Intel 970 SB950, 4x DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866
-Sapphire R9 280 3GB OC Dual-X, 3GB GDDR5 384bit, 28nm
-Fortron 500W Power Supply, Hyper, PPA5005003, 12cm fan
Wanted to see what you all think about this build... if you've got better ideas, I'm all ears.
Also, can someone explain what those CL9, CL10, CL11 numbers mean on RAM? Like, which one is actually better...
