also got a cooler master v650 semi modular psu

Tbh it wasn't good advice lol, the PSU is good but the RAM upgrade is appalling, even I can't use 24GB and I run virtual machines + 30-40 chrome tabs + a bunch of utilities in the background xD

The GPU and PSU are both welcome additions, you'll definitely feel the performance increase with that card.

A bit of a shame about the RAM, unnecessary expenditure.

I'd suggest you build your own PC.

Much cheaper!

Well the ram, i only bought two 8gb ram sticks as the upgrades, however i had two more slots left over and my old ones were still compatible so they just left them in adding another 8 gbs, so wasn't too bad.

 

and your computer sounds OP lol, how much did it cost to build?

Funnily enough, my system isn't all that powerful.

i5-4670k, 16GB (2x8GB) RAM, 780 Ti and a shitload of storage.

It's just even I (a resource whore) can't use all of my RAM, let alone 24GB ;P

Building your own is always the best way to go, in my opinion.
