Newegg.com - Corsair Vengeance K95 CH-9000020-NA Black

I bought this, because it comes with $50 gift card. Been looking at it for a while.

BTW, Newegg usually has awesome New Years sales that are better than Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

well this is all good information for when i buy a new PC in say 3 years lmao, ill probably pick me up a monitor though.

Derp. NM.

Bleh, the 1TB Samsung EVO SSD only marked down about 10%. Regular price is $530, Cyber Monday price is $490

That sucks, I was hoping it would be down in the ~$400 range, might have snagged it at that price

Pretty lackluster weekend. Was hoping for a good deal on a new GPU and the only thing I really saw that popped out at me was the $200-250 7970s, but I was never quick enough to snag one.

Yay? Nay? Wait until the new year? Thanks bros, I have no idea wtf I'm doing!

What's the PC for?

Porn. And playing games.

I really wouldn't advise mixing ram types/speeds, you could maybe get away with running them both at 1600 but why? If at all possible I would recommend buying 16gb of the 2133 ram and installing that.

Similar question: if I buy a new mobo and RAM right now with 8gb (4x2), and I later add another 16gb (8x2) of similar if not identical ram, is there any concerns with performance, compatibility etc?

Curious why people even need that much ram. Unless you do a lot of gaming + other shit all at the same time. Though I guess gaming + streaming can take a bit.

Yeah, hence why I'm starting out with 8gb. I just figure that if this CPU and mobo last me as long as my Q9550 did (5 years), I might want to slap in some more ram a couple years down the road.

FYI this PSU deal rocks:SeaSonic SSR-650RM 650W ATX12V EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Newegg.comfor $60.

It normally runs for $100. If you are looking for a PSU around 650W I really recommend this one.

My mobo supports both speeds but I have 8gb of GSkill RipJaw 1600 ram currently, if I buy 8 gb of 2133 to use along side, will I have an issue?

Nah, the 2133 will just run at 1600 speeds.

Slightly updated version... any thoughts?

PSU: Rosewill CAPSTONE-750 750W ($60 after rebate)

Looks good, what GPU?

Funny you mention this because the kid at Microcenter tried to tell me that 16gb is standard for a gaming rig and that 32 would "probably be a bit too much right now but not for long". I just rolled my eyes.
