Proccesor: AMD AM3+ FX-8320, 125W 8 Core
Mainboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0, Socket-AM3+
RAM: Crucial DDR3 BallistiX 1600Mhz 16GB KIT
CPU Radeon hd 7950 with 3 gb vram
Also i wonder if this is good specs

Proccsor: AMD AM3+ FX-6300, 95W Quadcore
Mainboard: ASUS AM3+ M5A97 R2.0
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9
CPU Radeon hd 7950 with 3gb vram

Sorry if bad English

 

FTFY. You don't need 16GB, you're better off with 8GB of a faster RAM. What about the GPU though? It's the most important part in a gaming PC. I'd also recommend to go Intel if you can afford it.

 

The cpu is radeon hd 7950

I need 16 gb ram because i need it to hd video editing and intel is the same for a higer price

 

You'll find benchmarks, datasheets and real world prove otherwise. AMD works, Intel is definitely better though if you can afford it. AMD FX sucks for video encoding actually, only 1 floating point unit for every 2 cores, Intel has 1 floating point unit for every core, video encoding hammers FPU usage. Intel also completes more instructions at the same clock speed as AMD which also aids video work

BeamNG has also run into issues with both AMDs crippled module architecture (which I like to refer to as siamese twin cores) and AMDs lower instructions per clock rating.

 

8gb ram will still be fine, also intel is most certainly not the same for a higher price, amd is the budget option of the cpu world, intel is the performance option of the cpu world, intel will do much better for your needs

 

Will be just fine.

No you don't, you're better off with 8GB of a better, faster RAM. You don't need 16GB unless you're planning to run a server and allocate over 4GB on it.
And as 6677 and logoster said, Intel is much better than AMD. If you can afford it, go for a 4690K or even a 4790K, hyperthreading is really good for video rendering actually.

I found that quite amusing.

 

I'm running WoW, Chrome, Thunderbird and Steam right now and i'm already hitting 6GB. 4 GB are not state of the art anymore. 8 GB are for people who are on a tight budget.
For video editing i would recommend 16 GB. Just for future proofness and stuff, because DDR3 will rise in price once DDR4 becomes mainstream.

 

bloatware or something like that, i can be running gta iv, a virtual machine, chrome (with about 10 tabs) and steam and still barley use 3GB, let alone 6

 

Lol wat.
I can run Firefox (15-20 tabs), Steam, Skype, Visual Studio, 3ds Max all at the same time, and still not top 4 GB. I could also run BeamNG and some other game (GTA IV?) and still not max out my 8GB.

You don't need 16 unless you're hosting a server or something.

 

Got 7 "apps" running and 58 background processes running. 2.7gb used.

 

Well i know what i am seeing and that is now 6GB. Windows takes what it gets.

 

Stop downloading shit.

 

i highly doubt windows is taking it all up, and is more likely bloatware of some sort

 

Windows does not take what it gets given at all...

I'd highly advise checking what startup applications you have, background applications and maybe even a malware scan.

 

Just for you 3 guys i just made an excel file with the data of the Windows Resource Monitor.

5.4 GB assigned, 5.9 GB used. http://prntscr.com/5531v7

Maybe you want to check yours aswell? I cannot find suspicious activity other than WoW

If he has the budget why drop 8 GB? Just add them, can just win with that.

 

what's running that's using java? i bet that's whats taking all your ram (either that or skype, those are both ram hogs)

also screenshot task manager

reason for downgrade to 8gb is that he'll never use 16gb, meaning it's money wasted that he could have used for something else (such as getting a better cpu)

 

I'd rather have 8GB OC'd to 3200 MHz than 16GB @1600 MHz. Plus, you can always just add more RAM if you need it.

 

You definitely have something majorly wrong going on. WoW should under no circumstance be consuming a full gigabyte of RAM.



Opening imgur of course impacts RAM usage inbetween the 2 screenshots.

 

Everything is just fine, you guys just don't understand or cannot relate to my usecase. Even a game like WoW can consume over 1GB easily, just run it on a large resolution with max details, lol. That java.exe is my Eclipse running in the background and honestly 250MB for that is pretty low. At work i see numbers past 4GB sometimes and that is just normal aswell.
