Although i question the memory.

What is the most realiable and failure proof G Skill for 16 gb (2x8 sticks) and no overclocking memory

1866MHz cas9 2100MHz cas9 or 2400 MHz cas10??? will run stock speeds

Also this build is not immediate and that is why the reference 290 was selected.

will wait for aftermarket coolers to appear from 3rd party vendors and reviews before purchase

Also the 1000w Platinum psu will be enough for,eventually Xfire 290s, or move to the seasonic gold x1050

or the 50watts doesn't matter?? Maybe i will overclock the cpu to 4.2 - 4.4 MHz. I don't expect too

much from Haswell!!!

I will expand the ssd to larger capacity (1tb) when the prices lower futher

Now the keyboard doen't matter to me i am a hunt and peck typer (haha!!)

with the loss of my index finger of my left finger,large hands Any ideas on how to game ????

remember be easy i am still a newbie!!

Modern games are loving high bandwidth memory. In the future, more and more of them will start to follow this trend. The difference between the 2400MHz Trident X kit and the 2133MHz one you want is only $5. Get the faster one. You will thank me in the future. 😉

Regarding the Platinum-1000W, all I can say is that it's a golden PSU. The efficiency is unbelievable and most likely you won't even see the fan spin at all. It'll have no problem powering a future R9 290x crossfire and a moderate 4.4GHz overclock.

Your build is good to go, my friend. 😉 Will be an awesome gaming rig.

Chino did some research on the effect of higher bandwidth and FPS in BF4 and it makes real interesting reading so yes you could say higher frequency is starting to make a difference finally.

To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

well if you have tried console ( gamed on one ) you can get a pad and use it on a pc, you will not have the same reaction time so to say, but you dont need to use the KB for it.
i game whit one who uses a game pad, and he swears to it.
if thats an option, i guess it all depend son what games one play.
