For hard drives I go with Hitachi, even when used they are good quality and last a long time. My Hitachi laptop drives that I am recycling still work and are well over five years old.
Hi guys i have a question im currently in dillema:
i have two versions of builds:
1. 1800X + ASUS Crosshair VI Hero + 16 GB Ram
2. 1700X + ASUS Prime X370-Pro + 32 GB Ram
other components are identical. i would like for mobo and CPU too be future proof that it would last at least 6 years as did my stock i5 760 . Witch one would be better?
That would depend on how the .2GHz difference affects performance in the real world, whether the 1800X is better at OC, and whether you consider OCing is worth it.Hi guys i have a question im currently in dillema:

1050ti is at a really bad price point. More so for the 4gb version.Ok, so I got the price down to $890 with a few tweaks. I prefer nVidia cards thus why I picked the 1050Ti. Is a 1060 with 3 GB Ram, really faster than a 1050Ti with 4GB? Or should I look to the 1060 with 6GB Ram?
It will be used for gaming.What do you do with your PC? I would lean towards #1. You can always add more ram later.
One question witch ram should i buy:
-2400mhz cl10
-3200mhz cl14
Some quick math showed both having similar overall latency but the 3200mhz has much more bandwidth to go with near
Some quick math showed both having similar overall latency but the 3200mhz has much more overall bandwidth to go with nearly the same latency (If I did my math correctly). So go for the 3200 MHz ram
Shame about the preference, because in that price range a $149 rx470 is king: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150776&cm_re=rx470-_-14-150-776-_-ProductOk, so I got the price down to $890 with a few tweaks.

Definitely the first. RAM is trivial and cheap to upgrade. Installation is literally three steps - remove case side panel, insert into slot, replace case side panel. Upgrading your CPU is dramatically more involved, while costing at the very least 3x of what an additional 16GB will cost you in a few years. Not that you'll need it for gaming either - 16GB is plenty for gaming.Hi guys i have a question im currently in dillema:

The difference between those two cards is night and day. VRAM alone tells you absolutely zero about a card's performance. Unless the card is grossly underequipped with ram, look at cores first, VRAM second.Ok, so I got the price down to $890 with a few tweaks. I prefer nVidia cards thus why I picked the 1050Ti.

Second: may I ask why you prefer Nvidia cards? I'm not complaining or anything, but as @sirmo mentioned above, the RX 470 of I'll save you $50 while performing between 85-100% of a 3GB GTX 1060. It's amazingly much better value - essentially the price of a 1050Ti, while beating it hands down. In that price range, not going AMD is essentially giving away money. You seem like you're on a semi-tight budget, so that seems a bit counterintuitive.
I've just always had better luck and performance out of Nvidia cards. I'm not against Radeon cards, just never been a real fan of them.
1050 Ti = mostly medium settings @ 1080p for most newer titles
RX 470 = all high/ultra @ 1080p for most newer titles
Your choice.

Another taichi fan.If Amazon had the X370 Taichi for preorder I think I'd pull the trigger on that + 1800X and ATX case. Newegg sold out of that board within a few hours.
So now I'll try and be patient for my original plan which was to build an ITX system in my current case.
