CoolMiester XSPC Dual-CPU Red System
There are always some gorgeous systems around to feast your eyes upon and take inspiration from, and i45 is no exception. We'll highlight a couple of our favourites from the TCL stand, stuffed full of XSPC parts.
This is an absolute behemoth, based around the EVGA SR2 and including both a 360 and a 480 radiator. A picture tells a thousand words so the saying goes, so we'll let you just stop and drool. We're particular fans of the LED highlights around the CPU blocks.

best look on the ram compatability list on Asus's site. I watched a video a lil bit ago where they claim they now are using future spec from intel for an upcoming change in chip design that allows more bandwidth. This vid said when they did their testing on the Z77 boards they used 2800 speed for all testing as a norm without any difficulties.

Thank you sin, I was looking at these what do you think http://www.crucial.c...1A62B7DA5CA7304 and these [url="http://www.shop.bt.com/products/corsair-memory-16gb--4x4gb--vengeance-performance-ddr3-1600mhz-cl9-7DNR.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product+search&utm_content=RR00"]http://www.shop.bt.com/products/corsair-memory-16gb--4x4gb--vengeance-performance-ddr3-1600mhz-cl9-7DNR.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product+search&utm_content=RR00[/url]
the vengance over the balistics mainly due to cost difference the 2x8gb kit is twice the 4x4gb kit. But both are great ram. But question knowing that the board you picked will do up to 2800 speed why get 1600???
You begin to pay a premium when you go above 1600, and, unless you're really into your rendering etc, I doubt you'll see much difference from 1600 RAM. A decent set of 1600 RAM can usually be overclocked a little higher, anyway.
If something other than "100% yes because ....." then something like this would be a better choice imo.

Hiya is that ram 1024 x 64 or is it 512 x 64

Your absolutely correct, especially when your looking for 1024Mb X 64 ram
In the event someone is upset about spending a fortune on 8 sticks of 4GB 2133Mhz after reading the above, let me say that I have personally tested RAM frequency and latency and a whole multiplier bump or CAS increment decrease (eg. CL9 to CL8) will only earn you an extra 0.02pts under Cinebench R11.5 x64. tested on a 1090T and Formula IV with 2x 4GB of 1333Mhz CL9 Corsair.
As others have stated when you get up to the 2133 you will be spending at least a 100 for a decent 8 gig kit and if you really want some nice ram be prepared to spend in upwards of 140 on up usd.

So my Question is which ram would you buy?
All help welcome
