Looking for help and tips with new PC build for UE4

Don’t get DDR4, there’s no reason to pay a price premium, there’s no large performance benefit. CPU performance hasn’t really gotten that much faster since 2009, and one more generation of iteration isn’t going to change that. There’s been something like a 5-10% improvement each release from Nehalem to Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge to Haswell to Broadwell.

Thanks everyone for the tips. I am not gonna wait for new skylake processors as it looks it is not gonna bring anything new. I will wait just a bit to collect enough money to buy this rig and afterwards gonna buy the ram. About the RAM module, I am gonna buy 1x 8GB module so I can later buy 1 or 3 more modules depending on performance. And I forgot to mention that I will be overlocking both CPU and GPU so I am expecting 25 - 30% performance boost.

I would get a PSU of at least 650 watts, but preferably closer to 800W

ZacD DDR4 as a huge performance benefit pulse a whole lot of other improvements you don’t see it now you will see it when skylake comes out.
You look at dry stats without real knowledge about cpu architecture there’s more then just performance boost.

Explooo I dont know what did you read but skylake brings a lot of new things and we don’t know the full cpus specs yet.
And I am sorry to tell you that with this build you can maybe overclock to get a 10% maximum boost and that if you get a really good cpu most cases you will only see a 5% boost.

1. The ram is good but its more of a standard then one for overclocking you wont get near a 25% boost with it.
2. like Jamendxman3 said you need at least a 650w but preferably closer to 800W.
3. The motherboard is a standard one you wont get near a 25% boost with it.

You don’t have to wait for skylake to get it but when it comes out you will see a price drop in older cpus and motherboards so you will be able to get the same build in less you said your gonna wait a bit to collect enough money for the build so just wait.
