To begin, I live in the US, so USD will be the currency here. I have a budget of around $2,000 for the PC, minus periphs, which I already have.
I have two builds setup that I'm curious to hear some opinions on. Currently, with the prices of DDR4, and considering I am not doing any post processing, or major video editing, is the jump to DDR4 worth it right now?
The first setup I have here revolves around a DDR3 build. The GPU is still up in the air, I might just jump straight to a 980.
I do not play a whole lot of AAA titles. Maybe Far Cry 4, and Battlefield, but that is about it. I might want to give ARMA and DayZ a go once this gets up and running. Also, I would like this to be able to handle streaming. I would like a consistent 60+ FPS minimums on 1440p when gaming, and smooth stream rate. Any tips appreciated.
