8 GB is a lot already unless you're doing some video editing or other heavy content creation / modeling / simulations / whatever.

I'm looking to maybe upgrade to an SSD and go from 4gb to 8gb of RAM. I bought BF4 recently and it is a real RAM hog and 4gb is just not cutting it. Also, it seems like a great time to upgrade right now with all the sales. Right now I'm running an i5 2500k (OC'd to 4.0Ghz), and GTX 560ti and I'm fairly certain my video card should be able to run BF4 on at least medium with no problems. I can play campaign on medium/high with good (60 fps) framerate but during multiplayer my RAM usage goes up to the max. Does this look like a good deal?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231416

Also, while I'm at it, I figure putting a SSD in my system wouldn't be a bad idea. Not really sure if I want to go cheap and get a 120-180gb or go all out and go for 256gb. Right now I'm only using about 250gb on my HDD. Anyone know of any good sales or sites I should know about in regards to getting an SSD?

Yeah that's not quite as good as the Adorama deal yesterday ($140/$280 for the 250GB and 500GB respectively)
But credit to Newegg for at least an effort hahah.

You guys are so lucky with such deals. Best one so far imo was that 2x4 Gb 2133 RAM for $55. Pretty insane price right there.

How good is the Intel 530 series? Good enough for the average consumer I wager?

I linked a 2x4gb kit, rated 2133mhz c10 @1.6v, for $53 a few days ago - not even black friday etc. There's often a few decent 2400 kits @$63/8b - Belial bought one and took it to ~2800c12 with 1.7v

http://i.imgur.com/9MEW9Ht.png

Seriously though, 1.7v on RAM is much much much safer than 1.47vcore on Haswell. Anyone can set RAM to 1.7v and be laughing, it's not even a high voltage.

How good is the Intel 530 series? Good enough for the average consumer I wager?


Pretty much everything is, and intel stuff is generally reliable too (afaik)

Intel 5xx is the enthusiast-level / prosumer parts with the longer warranties. 3xx is mainstream, which is what most people want just for the lower price. So yeah, 530 is fine.

Still looks like Seagate 600 was one of the better deals though.

I'm trying to figure out those Black Friday deals of individual components similar to what Ata had suggested me HERE. Truth is, I have no Idea what I'm doing even with all the info I gathered on first page and recent posts.

Question: How does the NCIX Black Friday bundle look in comparison to what I was recommended? To my eye, it looks almost identical with different brand names. Is it worth it? =/

The Black Friday system is okay if you're lazy but you could do much better by buying deals separately.

It's okay but Hyper 212 is beyond crap compared to the rest of the system and the TX750 is also crap compared to everything else.
