My RAM alone will cost somewhere around 200$.

Then again; I'm going for DDR4 and 16GB since I plan on having this rig for about 4 years or so.

You're going with an Intel 2011v3 based PC?

 

OT: It's nice to hear that they are the delays to improve the optimization of the game. June can't come soon enough so AMD launches its new cards and we can get a 380X or 980 for "cheap".

No, no, just a price example. That is actually the cheapest DDR4 16GB set available here, I'll buy one that matches the rest of the hardware better.

RAM has been very expensive here for some time now. I agree with your last part though and that's pretty much what I'm waiting for; the GPU's I'm looking at currently would make up about 1/3 of the total price of the rig, so it's perfect to get them when the competition launches. Should ATi launch something that competes on noise, heat levels and performance at a lower price though, that's a double bonus and my purchase is not set in stone. I am kinda keen on getting a nVidia card for compatability and driver reasons though and would consider a slightly higher premium worth it.

I've had quite a few issues with both mu ATi cards, especially in big production titles with lots of complex shaders.

When I asked for your setup, I wasn't really talking about that RAM set but the CPU/mobo because as of now, DDR4 only works Intel's top of the line range: the s2011v3 with its i7-5xx0 processors. And the cheapest of them all is the i7-5820K which already costs about 400 € or almost 1/4th of the total budget you said earlier of 2000$.

Regarding the GPUs, I'm sure Nvidia will win in power consumption (it will be lower), while heat and noise will come down to aftermarket coolers. AMD will probably be cheaper. We'll see who wins the performance battle.
