What Specs are ENOGUH? - General

I'm thinking about building my own PC (see this part list: [URL="https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Lavacoal123/saved/#view=fQsbt6"]https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Lavacoal123/saved/#view=fQsbt6[/URL]) so I started to wonder: by most people's standards, what specs are enough? The one im building has... 24GB ram Geforce GTX 970 GPU 6-Core Processor MSI Gaming Motherboard ( MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+ Motherboard ) 22" monitor Liquid Cooled cpu cooler (Corsair H55) I think it's pretty good- in fact a bit better than it needs to be, but I want to see what the diverse place we call Facepunch Forums thinks of it.

Seems pretty ENOGUH to me!

Seems overkill; you've more than enoguh there to run things well. 24GB of ram is completely ridiculous, unless you're rendering models or films, less than half of that would be enoguh. Give the hardware & software section a visit, they can provide enoguh information for you.

Cut down the RAM to something like 8GB and invest the money into a better GPU instead.

There are so many problems they're hard to count. Please go ask Hardware & Software.

12GB RAM is a bit much And 6 cores doesn't necessarily mean better, core speed is very important also and most games don't utilize 6 cores right now anyway, not to mention 24 fucking GB of RAM

Also I'd personally say 16GB of RAM should be fine for whatever you're using your PC for.

stick to a 1070 or 1080 instead, it's the latest and will last you way longer that, and an Intel CPU

There are some games that will use as much RAM as you give them. I've seen Cities Skylines eat up 12GB on its own so I wouldn't play it with anything less than 16. It will also benefit from the fastest CPU available because that's the bottleneck.

Im not going to nitpick a pc build in Fast threads.
